                         The front page to Acroname’s web site. Not only can you get information about the PPRK, but Acroname also
                         has information on the Sony AIBO and a new robot they’ve named Garcia.








































                                      In the About Robotics box on the main Acroname page are links to the
                                    BrainStem, Downloads, and the PPRK. The BrainStem is the controller that is
                                    used in the newest versions of the PPRK. (It is a different controller from the
                                    one originally used in the PPRK.) The Downloads link will lead you to a sec-
                                    tion of the web site where you can download software to use with the PPRK.
                                    We will be exploring the downloads area later in the book when we start
