Description
"Author Lee Gutkind introduces us to Zoe, Groundhog, Grace, and Sandstorm - all of whom are robots designed to help humans or, in some cases, to replace them." "This realm of robots is controlled by engineers and software designers - the backbone of the robotics field. Gutkind joined this brilliant crew, following these roboticists and their bold conceptual machines from Pittsburgh to flooded coal mines to NASA bases and even to the Atacama, the most barren and arid desert on earth. Almost Human makes intelligible their discoveries and stumbling points, while opening our eyes to a world of mechanical mayhem with the promise to produce miracles."--Jacket.
