Robots are used to defuse bombs, assemble cars, explore Mars and assist surgeons. In this resource, students will examine some of the earliest robots, many of which were simple machines designed to make life easier. As people experimented and invented, robots continued to evolve into the more sophisticated machines that are found in today's society. The authors also discuss the future of robotics.
