Exploring distant worlds as a space robot engineer

Inside this book, readers will meet the space robot engineers who use science, maths and technology to design and build incredible machines that do work in outer space. How do robot engineers turn ideas and sketches into fully functioning machines?

Why would a robot engineer be in a laboratory one day and a desert the next? And how do you drive and control a robot rover that's on a planet millions of kilometers from Earth? Readers will find out in this book.
