From mechanical automata to intelligent robots—how has robotics transformed the world? The journey of robotics begins with ancient myths of artificial beings and continues into the modern era of industrial automation, space exploration, and humanoid robots. Early engineers built mechanical figures, but it was the 20th century that saw robotics take flight with automated machines in factories and robotic arms in space missions. Today, robots assist in surgeries, explore Mars, and even serve customers in restaurants. Advances in AI and machine learning continue to push robotics into new frontiers. This book explores the key innovations, pioneers, and challenges in the field of robotics. If you are fascinated by the intersection of technology and human ambition, this book is a must-read.
