Summary: Lovely but empty
Comment: This book simply does not deliver any content. It is a well-written, attractively formatted, 199 page advertisement for a commercial product. I was extremely disappointed. It is the only book I have ever bought (and I've bought thousands) that I sent back. You will not learn anything from reading this book as most of it is spent describing a demo of the commercial product.

Summary: Terrible, don't bother
Comment: As Mr. Downey writes, this book is horrible. There are about 2 sentences of valuable information in the whole thing. Half to book is dedicating to instruction for the included software, which crashes my PC. Obviously this book was written to try and sell software, not as the technical resource it claims to be.

Whatever you do, do not buy this book, unless you want to waste some money.

Summary: Horrible, Not what they advertise
Comment: I bought this book expecting at least a little information on what the book promised to tell about: Robot Sensors. What I received was completely vague theory of what a robot could have to do theoretical things. This is a fictitious book that most anyone could write without any prior knowlege on the subject. It astounds me that any respectable company would publish a book like this. I hope that in the futre, the author of this book will actually tell readers what the book is about and not try to swindle them.

A sample sentance of this book might say something like: "If we had a robot that had to navigate through a room, what would he need? Sensors! These would alow it to navigate through the room."

This is about the depth of the book. To make it worse, I was expecting a sizable book. Instead, the book is very small and filled with giant diagrams which contain absolutely NO information.

Why should you listen to me? I am a microcontroller programmer and I actually do many of the things this author dreams of in his book.

Bottom line, this book is the worst book I have ever seen on any subject. Do not buy it. I was forced to return mine and luckilly get a refund.
