The book “Creative Robotics“, published in June 2023, is now accessible worldwide through various channels, including Amazon.
This book draws inspiration from the recently established Creative Robotics course at the University of the Arts London, where I serve as the course leader.
“Creative Robotics” is available in two editions that contain similar content. The original edition features a greyscale (black and white) interior, while the second edition is in full colour. Both editions are offered in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle formats.
To explore and purchase the book, you can find the links on the Amazon US and UK websites below. Both editions can be found on the Amazon websites of other countries as well.
