Bots and Bods explores the differences and the similarities between humans and robots. You’ll see the basic features of human bodies and how they are copied in bots. You’ll learn how movement happens, how the world is seen and sensed, and how humans and robots think it all through. And you’ll look to a future where bots will be helping bods more than ever.

Packed with detailed illustrations and fun facts, Bots and Bods takes you on a fascinating tour of the human – and robot – body. So come on in and discover your inner robot!

Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 8-12.
