"Robotics is mostly about experimentation, and Patnaik certainly offers the reader a book that contains quite a bid of it, with the help of code written in C++ and Java that can be readily downloaded from the publisher's site ... . I consider the book to be well written, addressed to undergraduate students in control sciences and experimental psychology, or some graduate students with a specialty in robotics. For the teacher or researcher, there is the package of aforementioned codes, and the references ... ." (Arturo Ortiz-Tapia, Computing Reviews, December, 2007)
