Now they're doing our housework and performing brain-surgery (though not at the same time). Yes, Riotous Robots are taking over the world, and this cybernetic guide tells you just how they're doing it. From underwater discovery to space travel, these metallic marvels are getting the most exciting jobs on the planet. But read on and you'll discover a robot that's forced to snack on slugs for a living and a robo-alligator that works as a scarecrow. Plus learn how to tell your cyborgs from your cyberpets.
