Robotics

This non-fiction book serves as an introductory guide to the field of robotics. It begins by defining what a robot is and then breaks down its core components. Chapters cover topics such as sensors (light, touch, sound), locomotion (wheels, legs), manipulators (arms, grippers), and control systems (from simple circuits to computer programming). The book uses the classic, colorful Usborne illustration style with clear diagrams and cutaways. It includes several simple hands-on projects and concludes with a look at real-world industrial robots of the era and speculative future applications.
