Chapter 11: Autonomous <strong>Robot</strong>s 257 More Information You can implement semiautonomous to fully autonomous features in a robot in many ways. A search on the Internet will yield thousands of pages of information on how to build different types of circuits. One of the appendixes in this book lists some good references for autonomous robots and sensors. The Seattle <strong>Robot</strong>ics Society (www.seattlerobotics.org) has a Web-based magazine called The Encoder that has hundreds of tutorials that explain how to use different types of sensors and microcontrollers. With the correct types of sensors, microcontrollers, and software, you can develop a “turn-on-and-forget” type of combat robot and sit back to watch your creation single-handedly and autonomously destroy its opponent.
