Robo-Motion

Some machines are designed by studying how living creatures move. This nonfiction book explores robots built on biomimicry, a method of copying nature's designs. Each spread places a photograph of a robot beside the animal it imitates, so young readers can compare the two side by side. Robots take inspiration from fish, cheetahs, kangaroos, and honeybee swarms, among others. The book also looks at how these machines are already affecting daily life and may shape how people live in the years ahead.
