Explores the connection between humans and robots, explaining how this relationship is being redefined as humans develop increasingly complex machines.
Explains how to build a simple robot that reacts, moves, and behaves much like the larger, more advanced systems used in manufacturing plants, and also includes a CD-ROM with related software.
Describes the development of robots, which paralleled that of computers, how robots work, and the many functions they fulfill, with emphasis on robots built by amateur hobbyists.
