I want to design robots from scratch. I am an electronics hobbyist and a
software engineer.
I have an experience of 3.5+ yrs of working on 8051 assembly language,C. I
know very well interfacing microcontroller to real world, using
sensors,ADC,DAC,motors etc.

But my problem is that I can do programming but for circuit design I have to
look for somebody else. I want to learn this last area to give me
satisfaction of building something from scratch.

Could anybody suggest me some real good book on practical circuit design. I
do not want too much of theory , for that I can go back to my college
textbooks.

For a really fast runthrough of the basics (from what a resistor,
capacitor, inductor are, basic E/I/R/power calculations, through
transistors, opamps, logic gates) get most any edition of the ARRL
Handbook. The first 100 or so pages is a highly condensed basic
electronics course meant for practical use.

The next step up (though there may be step or two in between) is
"The Art of Electronics" by Winfred Hill and Paul Horowitz:

I hope I am able to convey my thoughts properly.
