Deconstructs robot control into simple and distinct behaviors that are easy to program and debug for inexpensive microcontrollers with little memory so that once you've mastered programming your online 'bot, you can easily adapt your programs for use in physical robots.

* Teaches the concepts of behavior-based programming through text, programming examples, and a unique online simulator robot * Explains how to design new behaviors by manipulating old ones and adjusting programming * Does not assume reader familiarity with robotics or programming languages * Includes a section on designing your own behavior-based system from scratch
