Cynthia Breazeal is a roboticist, a scientist who designs, builds, and experiments with robots. Cynthia’s other world-famous projects include Kismet, an emotionally intelligent robot that smiles, frowns, and babbles like a baby. Armed with electronic gadgets, software programs, and her endless imagination, she creates lifelike machines that can respond to the world around them. There, she and her students use their computer science and engineering skills to work on marvels like Leonardo, a robot that interacts with people in ways that seem almost human. She works hard every day to turn that dream into a reality. Cynthia Breazeal is a creature creator. Firsthand accounts from Cynthia and from those who know her best combine to tell the inspiring story of a curious, sports-loving girl who went on to become a worldclass roboticist. Now robots are part of her daily life at the MIT Media Lab. As a child, she relied on movies to see robots in action. Why create robots like these? Cynthia can picture a future where sociable robots exist to benefit people. Robo World is also a Captivating story of high-tech invention where the stuff of science fiction becomes real in today's labs.
Robo World: The Story of Robot Designer Cynthia Breazeal rocks!!!!!!!!!!! Not only have I read this amazing book, I have given the books as gifts. Both boys and girls really enjoyed reading about Cynthia Breazeal. In fact, one aunt did not give it to her niece right away, because she read it first. Another parent said her son is very picky about reading, but he thoroughly enjoyed reading about Cynthia Breazeal. Thank you Jordan D. Brown for writing th
