This exciting book introduces young readers to the myriad robots doing all the dull, dirty, and dangerous work in our world.

Following The Brainiac’s Book of the Climate and Weather, this new addition to the Brainiac series approaches science and technology from a creative angle to make STEM learning accessible and fun.

Hands-on activities include building a grippy robot hand, making a mechanical hopping frog, testing yourself for artificial intelligence, and writing the first bill of robot rights. Readers will also find out which gross and scary jobs only robots can do, how nanobots could battle bugs inside the human body, and why self-driving cars might save lives.

Through quirky stories, infographic data dumps, and entertaining activities, readers will discover all there is to know about robots and artificial intelligence.
