      I Can Be a Robot Engineer - Nancy Harris

      The Robots Are Coming!

      When you think of a robot, what does it look like? Many people think of a robot as a humanoid (human-shaped) machine that can walk, talk, and think, like the robots in sci-fi movies.

      Robots can move, sense things around them, and interact with things or people. Most robots are computer-controlled, and can be programmed to do different tasks.

      In fact, there are hundreds of types of robots, some human-like, and some not at all. You’ll find out about them in this book!

      Scientists and engineers have been making robot-like machines for centuries. This mechanical writing boy robot dates from the 1770s.

      As electronics and computer science have developed, we’ve invented more and more robots to do all kinds of jobs.

      Robot engineers design, build, test, and fix robots. It’s an exciting, creative job that’s a mixture of being a scientist, computer technician, inventor, and artist.

      ANSWER

      Types of Robots

      You can divide robots into different types depending on how they work or move, or what jobs they do.

      When robot engineers start designing a robot, they have to think about how it will move, in order to do tasks and get around.

      This robot doesn’t go anywhere, as it’s just an arm for building things in a factory.

      If a robot is going to move around on a flat surface, engineers often give it wheels.

      Robots with walking legs are harder to design, but they have improved a lot in the 21st century. Some can climb up and down stairs.

      There are even swimming and flying robots!

      Robot engineers have invented thousands of different robots which can carry out all sorts of different
