Robots - at work and play
Robots are fast becoming part of everyday life. And not just toy robots (such as Transformers: Robots In Disguise) or those coveted by film fans in movies such as I, robot – but the real deal, bolts and steel, working robot.
Robots in car plants or working in space most readily spring to mind, but robots are now employed in many industries. They can walk, talk, dance, shop and even conduct surgery. Our Robotics in action section provides a fascinating insight into the implemention of cybernetics and robotics in real-life.
If your interest lies in metal on metal action? Rid yourself of robot rage online with virtual robot wars.
Alternatively, build your own robot for extreme destruction and compete for real with the help of our Robot wars section.
For those with a less destructive bent, we also feature less combative sporting robot events such as robot football and olympic games
