Book Synopsis
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a . . . robo-hummingbird? Meet robots engineered using biomimicry so that they move like animals. These robots are changing the way we live today and shaping the way we'll live in the future. On spreads pairing photos of robots with the animals they mimic, you'll discover robots that race through water like fish, run like cheetahs, jump like a kangaroo, swarm through the sky like honeybees, and more!
