VIVA LA ROBOLUTION! explains why and how robots will radically transform our daily lives in the next twenty years. The author opens the doors of international laboratories which put together these intelligent machines that will fill our homes, schools and streets.

Punctuated with illustrations and aimed at a large audience, this manifesto of the robotics revolution is an invaluable key to understanding robulation in motion."
