Robot Responders: Rescue Missions to Space Adventures

Meet the robots that dare to go where humans can't!

From blazing fires and crumbling buildings to radioactive zones and stormy seas, rescue robots are on the front lines - saving lives, exploring the unknown and tackling tasks too dangerous for people. Whether they're diving to the ocean floor, fixing satellites or cleaning hospitals, robots are redefining what's possible.

Behind every heroic robot is brilliant design and cutting-edge technology. Think flexible joints, precision flight, lasers for mapping, and fire-fighting abilities to spray hundreds of litres of water in seconds. But success also depends on seamless teamwork between humans and machines.

Explore the fascinating world of robotic innovation in Robot Responders. Uncover how nature inspires engineers, discover the latest life-saving technologies, and get a glimpse of the next generation of robots that are already in development.

Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 8 to 12.

Smriti Daniel isn't a roboticist, but she had a lot of fun interviewing several of them for this book. She's a journalist, editor and presenter, and this is her second book for younger readers.
