ReviewsFocusing on high-interest topics, these cleanly laid out volumes will fill readers in on the past and present basics of robot design, structure, and function. Competitions covers the range of formal contests, from mock rescues to wild and destructive BattleBots frenzies. With a mention of the Curiosity rover's Mars landing, Space Robots updates the information found in Christopher Forest's otherwise similar Robots in Space (Capstone, 2012), and Amazing Military Robots is a cut above Barbara Alpert's Military Robots (Capstone, 2012) in coverage and reading level. Sidebars with interesting facts (e.g., "Some self-guided robots guard national borders, military bases, and nuclear waste sites") and the clear, color photos of the machines in action may attract browsers and/or robotics enthusiasts., ...accurate information and beautiful color illustrations. Scattered throughout all four books are "Robot Facts" sidebars, and vocabulary terms that might cause the reader problems are defined at the bottom of each page., STEM courses frequently include work with robotics and young students can start early with this intriguing introduction to the math and science behind the subject. Explaining the robot's brain is a CPU, Jenny Moss compares and contrasts its muscles, limbs, and senses to human counterparts and explores various types used for different jobs, closing with a look at what is in the future.
