Summary: "Robots exist all around us. They populate our factories, assist our surgeons and have become an integral part of our armed forces. But they are not just working behind the scenes. David Hambling reveals the groundbreaking machines--once the realm of science fiction--that are by our sides today, and those that are set to change the future forever. From the Reem robocop that polices the streets of Dubai to the drones that deliver our parcels and even the uncanny Gemonoid Hi-4 built to look just like you, here are fifty unique robots that reach into every aspect of our daily lives. With full profile photography showing each robot's individualities and technical drawings illustrating their functions, We : Robot examines why robots have become embedded in our culture, how they work and what they tell us about our society and its future."--Page 4 of cover.
