Description

    A behind-the-scenes view of the world of modern robotics and the individuals who create these innovative machines looks at the vast potential of these mechanical creatures and at efforts to create a fully autonomous robot. Reprint. Lee Gutkind explores the psychology and lives of the scientists dedicated to inventing functional robots. One group tests potential Mars rovers in the Atacama desert; another works on a robot to navigate coal mines; the military sponsors an extremely difficult cross-country robot race; and the teams of the RoboCup train their inventions to pass and score.
