A graphic history of robots, from mechanical birds to Mars rovers

Through the travels of Pouli, a mechanical bird described as one of the earliest robots, the book connects historical inventions with present-day machines and questions about what comes next. Its scope ranges from tea-serving robots in feudal Japan to rovers exploring Mars, while also introducing how robots work and where people encounter them—in homes, vehicles, factories, and beyond. The graphic-novel format frames the subject as an illustrated journey through robotics’ past, present, and future, with a STEM focus that links technological history to the possibility of building robots oneself.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers curious about robots, robotics, and technology’s history
  • Readers who enjoy learning STEM topics through graphic novels
  • Classroom, library, or homeschool collections seeking illustrated nonfiction about science
