[edlug] Robotics



Hi all!
I recently bought Linux Robotics by D Jay Newman, McGraw Hill, ISBN 0-07-
144484-X & I'm still working my way (slowly!) through it. The robot in the 
book is built around a mini-ITX board with mostly off-the-shelf sensors, 
microcontrollers and actuators, but does use large heavy sealed lead acid 
batteries. The programming uses neural networks, image processing, mapping & 
planning and text to speech and speech to text.
Has anyone here built an 'autonomous' robot around a Linux computer? Or even 
in the process of building one?
Also I'm on the look out for any equipment that might be applicable to 
robotics, v.cheap if possible!

Cheers
Keith
