Robotics and automation are becoming increasingly prevalent, and the Amazing Robots series aims to introduce young readers to the many ways robots contribute to all corners of daily life. The machines covered in Robots in Medicine do everything from clean hospital hallways to help amputees pick up objects with their bionic fingers. Each volume features straightforward, if at times dense, text and inset boxes that pose critical thinking questions or offer glimpses into the future of robotics. Though each title surveys a wide range of robots, the descriptions are occasionally too brief, and the broad definition of robot might raise questions: Is a body camera a robot or just a machine? Still, the full-color photos of robots in action and the high-interest nature of robotics may catch the interest of science-minded kids.

Readers are introduced to cutting-edge medical technology with full-color photographs of robots actually used in hospitals and doctors' offices today. The main content offers detailed, but understandable, information about the science of these incredible machines. Additionally, readers learn about the integration of these robots into many careers in medicine, technology, and science.
