A robot world / Clive Gifford.

Gifford, Clive, (author.).

Summary:

In today's wired world, robots are everywhere, from movies, in space, as part of computer games--maybe even walking among us. This is a look at their rise: how they've developed over time, from early sketches to terrifying battlebots and factory operatives, to the latest AIs running free from their workshops. Presented chronologically, this robot history explores landmark robots that have captured the imagination, including creations from popular culture.(WorldCAT)
