Description: "While the word "robot" was only invented in 1920, the idea of humans creating something that moves and acts on its own, as if alive, is ancient. Today, robots have gone from being fairly simple things that make us laugh or do things for us, to fascinating machines that can think for themselves, or even become our mechanical friends. And what about tomorrow? No one really knows, but one thing is for certain; for makers in the here and now, the world of robots is wild, wonderful, and ready to be hacked...by you!" -- publisher.
