Hubots: Real-World Robots Inspired by Humans by Helaine Becker
4.5
I read & evaluated this book for the Vancouver Children's Round Table (VCLR)'s 2019 Information Book Award.
As someone who usually doesn't find robots etc. very interesting, I was pleasantly surprised with this book. It's amazing! The layout of information was easy to navigate, yet still imaginative and creative. I enjoyed how the book covered what "hubots" are (humanized robots), where science is at now, and where science will go in the future in regards to hubots. For each hubot, the reader was given superhero-like categories (i.e. "name/realm/applications/mission") to describe what its purpose was in the real world. There is also a glossary, index, and list of additional resources.
