"When you think of a construction site, you might picture bulldozers, workers in hard hats, and huge iron beams being shifted into place. You might not imagine robots, drones, and 3D printers, but they are becoming essential equipment on modern building sites. The field of construction is changing quickly as project managers rely more on interactive apps than blueprints, and on images from autonomous drones rather than hand drawn schematics. Readers will explore how construction is merging with technology, and what it means for careers in the future"--Provided by publisher.

"Robots are machines that can do work on their own. Read about all of the different and exciting jobs robots do in our communities"--.

Every day, robots become a bigger part of our lives. From the robots vacuuming our homes to self-scanning machines at the supermarket, robots do jobs faster than humans and often with fewer mistakes. This book takes a look at the amazing developments in robotic technology, from the early days of robots to the varied landscape of robotics we see today. Readers will learn the differences between robots being developed to look just like humans and the complex thinking machines designed to play chess or build cars, and explore the potential future robots have to change the world.

General Motors brought the first factory robot to life in 1961. The 4,000-pound assembly-line robot was named Unimate. It proved it could build cars twice as fast as humans could! In this children?s tech title, the behind-the-scenes robots that make factory work fly get much-deserved attention.

Looks at how and why robots are used in various industries, examines the anatomy of a robotic arm, discusses robot use in factories, farming, stores, the home, and the medical field, and considers the possible future of robot workers.

Describes how robots have been used in industry and agriculture.

An introduction to mining robots and how they are used.

Mining can be a dirty and dangerous business. Some mines are difficult, if not impossible, for humans to reach. Bring on the robots! They help clean up mining disasters, drill into the ocean floor for copper and gold, and much more.

"Most products we use every day were made using manufacturing robots. Readers will be surprised to hear how common and important robots are in the manufacturing world. This book covers the history of manufacturing robots, as well as the newest robots that are used today"--Amazon.com.

Presents an overview of the history of the robot, culled from interviews with experts such as scientists, surgeons, manufactures, science fiction writers, artists, filmmakers, and provides information on the role they play in daily life and speculates on their future.
