Curious about Robots at Home

Description

Do people actually have home robots? Could a robot clean your room? Drawing on kids’ natural curiosity about technology, this inquiry-based nonfiction book explores the fundamentals of robots at home to get elementary-aged kids ready to explore the world of robotics. Conversational questions like “How can robots help someone be more independent?” and “How will home robots change?” pique kids’ interest. “Did You Know” fact boxes and infographics draw in casual browsers and visual learners. A “Stay Curious!” feature encourages kids to keep asking questions while doubling as a mini media literacy lesson on research skills. Includes a glossary and index.

"Readers drawn to the photo of a robotic dog on the book's cover will find a relatively short discussion of robotic pets and several related color photos within the book." —Booklist
