From treating laser wounds to fooling face and gait recognition, besting robot logic to engaging in hand-to-pincher combat, How to Survive a Robot Uprising covers every possible doomsday scenario facing the newest endangered species: humans. And with its thorough overview of current robot prototypes – including giant walkers, insect, dog, and snake robots – How to Survive a Robot Uprising is also a witty yet legitimate introduction to contemporary robotics.
