Summary:
Robots aren't just human-like machines that can walk around and talk. They're remote-controlled vacuumed cleaners, giant robotic arms used to build cars, and in the equipment of operating rooms. This volume shows readers just how many robots are used in so many ways, supported by full-color images of real-life robots at work. The history of robotics helps readers understand the development of some of the coolest technology around today.
