He wrote many, I think about all for TAB books, now part of McGraw Hill.
'Build your own working Robot', 1976. TTL, sorry my copy has been borrowed
and lost. Must still be much easier to find, at least in the U.S. than
"We Built our own Computers"
'How to build your own self-programming Robot', 1979. Used a 8085. Has a
convoluted final algorithm (to me) to determine responses.
'How to build your own working Robot, the second Generation', 1987. Still
TTL, about 30 ic's, 4 bits input (bumpers), 4 bits output (2 drive motors).
Other's I haven't seen are '101 Programming Surprises and Tricks for the IBM
PC'.
Of course today there are all sorts of robots with PIC microcontrollers, etc.

Has anyone
built any of David Heiserman's robots? He's written several robot
construction books. Some with hardwired logic, some with microcomputers.
I don't think I've come across these - can you provided titles, etc, please
