MIT Press published a robotics textbook. Then put it on GitHub for FREE. 📌 "Introduction to Autonomous Robots" covers everything: kinematics, sensors, actuators, motion planning, localization, computer vision, and neural networks... from mechanisms all the way to algorithms. It's written for undergraduates. Which means it's actually readable. Most robotics textbooks assume you're already deep in the field. This one builds everything from the ground up, step by step, with real examples. Stanford's Mac Schwager called it "much-needed" (because it genuinely is). Four professors at the University of Colorado Boulder spent years building it from lecture notes. MIT Press published it. Then they open-sourced the whole thing under Creative Commons. PDF. Free. GitHub. If you're trying to understand how autonomous robots actually work (not just the frontier research, but the foundations), this is where to start. 📌 [ Share this with your fellow roboticist! —— Weekly robotics and AI insights.
