"The 20 easy-to-build robots in this project book can be constructed for little or not cost using common household objects and repurposed materials."--

Explains how to build electronic projects from simple objects, including a coloring wriggle bird, a flashlight, and a rowdy dancing robot.

Greta wants to go on an overnight trip with her mother and her friend, but first she must find a way to make their plant-watering robot feed the cat while they are away.

Almost fifty years ago the first industrial robot was "employed" in an automobile assembly plant. Robots are regularly used for hazardous, super-heavy and difficult tasks in manufacturing, agriculture, entertainment, medicine, and space exploration. Welding robots with touch sensing and seam tracking abilities increase assembly plant efficiency, while robotic surgery results in less pain, quicker recovery and shorter hospital stays. NASA's robotic...

"Governments, companies, and private investors spend billions on astronaut-dependent space travel, but the work is dangerous and unhealthy to human bodies-so that executing missions may simply not be worth the cost. The future will be one of robots, heirs to the Perseverance rover on Mars, equipped with artificial intelligence and capable of autonomous exploration"--

Looks at the science of remote systems, what remote systems control engineers do, and what schooling is required to become one.

"This successor volume to The Singularity Is Near explores how technology will refashion the human race in the decades to come. In this entirely new book, Ray Kurzweil brings a fresh perspective to advances in the singularity--assessing the progress of many of his predictions and examining the novel advancements that, in the near future, will bring a revolution in knowledge and an expansion of human potential. Among the topics he discusses are rebuilding...
