Anita had asked who would be interested in her book "Mobile Robots :
Inspirations to Implementation". I would be for one and I would be
interested in more books on the Zen of Mobile Robots so to speak.

I am  Ph D student at the University of Pittsburgh in the Intelligent
Systems Program. This is an interdisciplinary program in AI with a large
CS content and an even larger AI content! Course taken are things like
Knowledge Representation, Planning, Expert Systems, Logic, Theory of
Computation and Design & Analysis of Algos. The electives are pretty
much a free for all and I can choose between Legal Reasoning to 
Cognitive Science to VLSI Design. 

I attended a seminar in "Resource Limited Reasoning" by Martha Pollack
last semester and having been introduced to planning under resource
limitations got interested in Mobile Robots. CMU has a Robotics program
but I want to find out what Robotics is all about, especially how much
fun I can have with them. Anitas book sounds just right for me and I 
would like to hear from all you guys out there. I like making things
that work with some abstract stuff thrown in - things that challenge
my resourcefullness as well as my mind. ( I hope that doesnt sound
too pompous). Let me know your experiences. Also by the way my 
undergraduate degree was in Applied Physics (though that seems 
ages ago !).

You can send me e-mail or post here on how best I can prepare myself
to do Robotics and have fun while doing it
