Book overview

How do robots help humans? Discover the latest advancements with this book for young readers.

 

Robots have been helping humans for many years. You can probably spot a few robots at work right at home or in your own neighborhood. But did you know that robots also accomplish some of the most dangerous--and often icky--jobs people need to do? Robots are at work in the deepest oceans, inside of sewers, and even inside people's bodies! Robots Helping Humans uses engaging, interactive text--including critical-thinking questions--to introduce readers to how robotics have changed our lives for the better.
