Bots! Robotics Engineering: with Hands-On Makerspace Activities: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Bots! Robotics Engineering: with Hands-On Makerspace Activities" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
An action-packed book for middle schoolers that explores the roles robots play in our world, including the history, engineering, and key players in this STEAM fieldplus loads of hands-on robotics activities so kids can learn design, engineering, and coding, and develop their own innovative ideas for future robots!
Robots are everywhere! They vacuum our houses, work in our factories, help us learn at school, and play with us at home. They sample rocks from other planets, survey disaster zones from the air, and bring back images from the bottom of the ocean. In Bots! Robotics Engineering with Hands-On Makerspace Activities, kids 9 to 12 learn the how, why, and who behind the robots we have today.
- Engage in science-minded learning by constructing a hydraulic arm, formulating an edible inflatable soft robot, designing a motorized ArtBot, and testing your own gravity-powered mini-walker. Learn coding basics by writing pen-and-paper programs in Logo and creating virtual robots in the free online language Scratch. Discover how to build low-cost programmable cardboard robots using microcontrollers such as Micro:bit or Circuit Playground Express and Microsoft MakeCode. And find out how to train an AI computer to think by playing an unplugged Machine Learning version of the math game Nim.
- Essential questions, links to online primary resources, fascinating facts and brief sidebars help readers learn the basics of robotics while exploring their creativity as they design and build their own robots and robotic components.

Welcome to the amazing world of robots ! Remember the robots from Star Wars, WALL-E, and Big Hero 6? Not that long ago, robots were found only in books and movies. Today, real robots are everywhere!
Robots do many different jobs. Industrial robots assemble huge cars and tiny computer chips. Household robots vacuum floors and mow lawns. Security robots patrol malls and supermarkets. And self-driving robotic cars carry people and packages around town.
Sometimes, robots do dangerous jobs. Firefighting robots equipped with water cannons can go inside burning buildings too hot for humans. Bomb disposal robots protect police and military personnel as well as civilians. We send robots to explore the depths of the ocean and the expanse of space.
ESSENTIAL QUESTION
What task would you ask a robot to do?
WORDS TO KNOW
robot: a machine that is able to sense, think, and act on its own.
STEM: an acronym that stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEAM is STEM plus art.
technology: the tools, methods, and systems used to solve a problem or do work.
engineering: the use of science, math, and creativity to design and build things.
robotics: the science of designing, building, controlling, and operating robots.
But robots dont just do risky, delicate, or boring work for us. Robot toys play with us, follow our commands, and respond to our moods. Robot pets keep people company in nursing homes. Musical robots accompany popular musicians.
Robotics is the science of designing, building, controlling, and OPERATING ROBOTS.
This robot, named Pepper, helps in stores, offices, homes, and schools.

Creating a robot requires knowledge in STEM Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. It takes experts in many different areas to create robots. They include scientists who study plants and animals and the way people think and behave, as well as inventors, builders, designers, and artists. In fact, some people prefer the term STEAMwith an added A for art.
