      Grades 2-5 High-interest topics, an abundance of eye-catching photos and visuals, and accessible text are a mainstay of DK titles, and the entries in this DK findout! series are no exception. Each book begins with an introduction, followed by double-page spreads that provide a terrific overview of the subject through key concepts, history, and people. Robots looks at early forms of automata before delving into types of robots and how and where they are used, from factory floors to operating rooms to outer space. The book covers innovations in robotics, such as how robots use senses like humans, robots designed like animals, and robotic prosthetics. Readers also meet male and female engineers and their wide range of robotic devices. At-a-glance facts and figures round out each volume. With reluctant and visual readers in mind, this series offers useful information in an appealing format.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
