Warning! Warning! Robots have entered the area, and they're showing up in
the most unusual places! Whether it's up in space, under the sea, on a factory assembly
line, or in a police bomb-squad van, robots are making a major-league impact on the world
around us. While robots were once thought of as purely science fiction, the use of robotic
technology and artificial intelligence will become as common as using a computer. There is
no better way to introduce young minds to the world of robotics and technology than one of
the classic robot-related children's books below! This section starts off with books for ages 4 to 8 and the recommended ages go up as you scroll down the page.
Robots introduces readers to the world of these fascinating machines, from the simplest robots through the robots which operate complex machinery, to the latest intelligent robots and cyborgs. Stunning photographs and exciting digital artwork splash across every page. Clear explanations lead readers from general overview to close-up focus on fascinating detail. Involving, informative projects and activities engage young reader's interest and encourage hands-on involvement and understanding. |

Page by page, readers can remove the sturdy cardboard pieces and fit them together, following the My Little Blue Robot story and thorough diagrams that provide all the instructions. Eager young builders will learn about numbers, shapes, and colors while they construct their extraordinary new friend. After the head, body, movable arms, and wheeled legs are fastened together, the new creation comes magically to life. When your young roboticist unlocks the front panel and adds his heart, he says, "Hello, you are my friend! Let's play!" A fabulous robot book that's not too difficult and even prompts readers to locate shapes like "2 white hexagons" and "5 silver squares," My Little Blue Robot will inspire kids to make a fun new friend (literally).
Fascinating NASA photographs intrigue students, while labeled photos and diagrams support technical vocabulary. Hands-on activities extend the exploration into the classroom.
In this jovial introduction to the field of robotics, a brief rhymed text describing robot maneuvers is paired with fast facts explaining current and proposed uses for robots. From robofish to microrobots that may someday travel the bloodstream to repair cells, readers meet many different mechanicals. An author's note provides historical facts and cites numerous technical sources including NASA.
Take a detailed look at the fascinating world of robots - from the earliest single-task machines to the advanced intelligence of robots with feelings. Young readers will be amazed to learn all that robots can do: perform delicate surgical operations, clean city sewers, work as museum tour guides, or even battle each other in combat! Find out how humans have created these mechanical minds and bodies.
Step into the BattleBox with your favorite BattleBots from all four weight classes. Find out everything you need to know about the top robots: What is Ziggo's primary weapon? How many screws does it take to hold BioHazard together? What fuel powers Minion? You'll find the answers to these questions and much more.
Robots exist in many forms and serve a wide range of useful roles. Robotic technology can be seen on auto assembly lines, in military flying drones such as the United States Air Force Predator, and in ATM machines. How to Build a Robot explains what makes these machines work, their development, inventions that led to robots of today, what the future holds in this field, artificial intelligence, and automation in the workplace. Readers are offered the opportunity to create an electromagnet, generate pneumatic force and test water pressures that could impact undersea robots. In addition, the author assists readers to appreciate the complexities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and nanorobots. Young readers will enjoy the humorous illustrations that help underscore key points in this interesting book.
Robotics will appeal to teenagers from grades 7 to 12. The reading level is somewhere between grades 4 and 7, although older students will enjoy the book because of the subject matter. The series is designed as a collection of high-interest, low-level reading materials. The colorful format and high-quality photographs are attractive and appealing. This book takes a look at the current state and future of the field of robotics, emphasizing that robots are already playing an important role in making our lives easier.
For those who have created a great robot and want to show it off, the book includes a list of robotics contest resources, along with winning tips for successful entries. Also included are robot clubs, organizations, and component suppliers.
The detailed explanations of the rover's construction, the launch and landing of the Pathfinder lander on Mars, and the work done by Sojourner are fascinating. Stunning photographs, the majority in color, add additional details and clarity to the lively text, which is easy to read but does not talk down to readers. A time line of Mars voyages, a chart comparing Earth and Mars, and web sites are also included. This book provides enough information for reports, and may inspire students to pursue further research. An entertaining, factual, and immensely readable volume.

the Rookie Read About
Science series of books is a natural addition to the primary-grade
classroom with books that cover every part of the science curricula: animals, nature,
scientific principles, the environment, weather, and much more. Featuring full-color
photographs that offer readers a real-life look at the subject they're studying, simple
text that makes complex concepts easy to grasp, and "Words You Know" pages to
reinforce key learning objectives, these books make a
great addition to your early science library.
Discover the amazing world of machines, from robots that play chess to systems
that think.
Based
on the cool new sport of robot combat where customized robots built by contestants compete
for supremacy in the BattleBots arena. This book is a handy insider's guide to the most
popular and successful BattleBots. Young fans can easily reference their favorite robot,
see its picture, and read a list of interesting facts and information.
How to Build a Robot is a guide to
building a walking, talking, thinking robot. Along the way you will find out about robots
in fact and fiction, from R2D2 to real robots a that can smell, learn, fly, and beat
humans at chess. Young readers with an interest in robotics will find a treasure trove of
information in Clive Gifford's "How To" guide to robots. Gifford traces the
history of robots and provides a host of activities related to various elements that make
up these fascinating creations.
Robots is a colorful look at the most recent developments in robotics
technology. It starts off with the origins of robot designs - from the fantastic to the
realistic. It examines single-function robots designed to perform repetitive tasks, then
it moves on to robots for hazardous situations like bomb-disposal and undersea robots.
Other chapters take a look at robots in the film industry and robots designed to assist in
surgery and other medical procedures. The state of the art is surveyed in the chapters on
Nanorobots and robots in space. The final section details the rapid advances in technology
that are bringing amazing futuristic robot designs closer to reality.

An authoritative and exciting recounting of the Mars Pathfinder
mission and the success of the Sojourner rover. The story begins with a brief but
enlightening discussion of why scientists send missions to Mars and the successes and
failures that occurred before the launch of Pathfinder in December of 1996. The book then
follows the designing and building of Sojourner and describes her performance on Mars
after landing on July 4, 1997. The rover did more than its designers and mission control
experts had hoped for. For nearly three months Sojourner sent data about the rocks, soil,
and weather on Mars, plus hundreds of color pictures. Readers follow this mission from its
conception and the construction of the rover to the final bits of data sent from Mars.
Fictional robots have long fascinated
