Where does the EV3 fit in?

In this book, we will be using the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 to make our own smart robots. The EV3 is ideal for building smart robots at this level for several reasons:

  • It allows robotics enthusiasts of all skill levels to quickly prototype their own robots.
  • It includes a suite of cool sensors that our robot can use to gather information about its environment.
  • It has its own unique, intuitive programming language and development environment that allow us to write programs to control our smart robot.
  • It includes motors and other hardware that enable it to interact with its environment.
  • The EV3 intelligent brick acts as the brain of the robot. It runs the program, processes information from the sensors, makes decisions, and controls the motors.

The EV3 robotics platform is convenient, accessible, and includes everything that we need to build our own smart robots.
