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.

In this fun, simple, and vibrant non-fiction book, technoscience expert Matthieu Dugal, creator of documentary AI: To be or not to be, shares the epic history of artificial intelligence and gives answers to the biggest head-scratchers:

• How does AI already help us, at home and at school?
• Which robots from your favorite movies may soon be in the real world?
• What are avatars?
• Which inventors are creating new technologies?
• How do algorithms work?
• ...and why can't AI cook pasta and drain it at the right time?

We can't see it, and yet this technology is everywhere: it's in computers, cars, and virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa. And it's already making decisions for us, for better, and sometimes for worse...

This fascinating guide delves deep into how these decisions are made behind the scenes, putting tricky ideas into easy-to-understand terms. Keep kids' attention with colorful illustrations and easy-to-understand, well-researched facts to prepare them for an exciting AI-centric future.
