Internet Robot Resources

The Internet contains a wide variety of resource pertaining to robots. Virtually all Universities provide research documents and files on the Internet for those interested. Many contain information about robot programming, navigation and control issues. This information can be obtained using a Web browser such as Netscape or via FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Various newsgroups are available that allow readers to exchange ideas and ask questions.

Arrick Robotics maintains an Internet Web Site at www.robotics.com. At this site you can browse pages describing various product offerings and view the latest demonstration code and example programs. You can also send e-mail to info@robotics.com to get technical and sales questions answered.

The following information is a sample of robot-related information available on the Internet at the time this manual was printed.
