Robots, AI, and the ways they work

Robotics comes into view through practical examples: a pizza-making machine in a factory, robots used in hospitals, and a snake-inspired device that climbs trees. The book also reaches back to ancient Egyptian temple statues described as speaking to worshippers, placing modern engineering in a longer history of human-made machines. Alongside explaining what robots are and how they are made, Henny Admoni introduces questions about artificial intelligence and whether robots should be feared. Examples ranging from disaster response to spacecraft connect the technology to settings on Earth and beyond, while illustrations by Amy Grimes accompany the explanations.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in robotics, artificial intelligence, or STEM topics
  • Young readers curious about how robots are made and used in real-world settings
  • Families seeking an illustrated introduction to robotics and AI

Book overview

The future is here. Explore the world of robots and artificial intelligence in this kids' STEM book by robotics professor Dr. Henny Admoni.

Hang out in a factory with a pizza-making robot, blast into the past to meet the robot statues in ancient Egyptian temples that spoke to worshippers, and encounter the slithering robot inspired by snakes that can climb trees!

Robots are no longer just the preserve of science fiction. From driverless cars to robots helping in hospitals, the field of robotics is one of the most exciting in modern science. With beautiful illustrations by Amy Grimes, this children's book explains what robots are, how they are made, and how we can use them in all sorts of amazing ways.

Dr. Henny Admoni's book answers some of the key questions about robotics and AI, such as should we be afraid? It also looks at the positive impact robots can have on us all, from robots who can help in disaster zones to the robotic spacecraft exploring the Solar System and beyond.

The possibilities of robotics and AI are endless. With a hardback cover featuring colourful foil, this book is an ideal gift for technology-mad kids.
