- The book begins with an introduction that describes the birth of Stiquito.
- The chapters that follow describe the building process, its modifications, and its increased load capacity.
- Other chapters examine designs for simple controllers to enhance the functionality of the robot and to give the robot intelligence and SCORPIO hardware designs for performing independent, intelligent operations.
- The text also illustrates Stiquito's uses in education by presenting lab exercises, describing the use of nitinol in classroom experiments, and providing a robotics curriculum for undergraduates.
- It examines further research on the role of logic in a mobile robot's sensors, control, and locomotion; Stiquito's platform for AI; and simulation of a robot guided by vision.
- The book concludes with a discussion of the future for nitinol-propelled walking robots.
