Starting in the 1930s with the first talking-relay machines and the development of wearable bots, we travel through technological, design and cultural evolution to the present-day, where astrobots fix our satellites and drones deliver our parcels. Split into four sections, revealing the areas of our day-to-day lives that are being driven by robotics, each is introduced with an essay that examines how the robots have come to be a part of our lives, where they work, how they work and what do they tell us about our society. Each robot is accompanied by expert text on its role and functions and accompanied both by full profile photography and a unique, stylish illustration which details the robot's defining function. With robot specs and a timeline of design placing the robots in context, and full of facts and trivia on these incredible machines, WE:Robot is the perfect introduction to rise of robots, how they are moving, shaping and ruling our world.
