Description
How robots will revolutionise our world
Some fear that robots could do half our jobs and even wipe us out. But is that likely? Hallo Robot reveals how robots see, feel, and act — and what they can and can't do.
Instead of harming humans, artificial intelligence could vastly improve our lives. Robots already make our cars and clean our homes. Soon they could chauffeur us, teach our children, and keep our parents company.
While tackling ethical concerns, the authors Bennie Mols and Nieske Vergunst show how robots could allow the lame to walk again, rescue survivors from collapsed buildings, and boost the global fight against hunger and pollution.
Welcome to a realistic, colourful view of our robot future. An ideal book for techie teenagers and curious adults.With 60 colour photos.

An interesting introduction to what robots are and how they work.
It's well written and full of complete and clear explenations of robotics and AI.
It gives a complete picture of this field and can be appreciated by adults who want to learn something new and children.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC

A great read for both adults and children, if you’re an adult who knows a lot about robots you’d probably pick up for your kids, but as someone who knows little about them, this was a great read to learn together. Clear explanations without being confusing. A great read.
