How does a robot know what to do? How do sensors help machines respond to their surroundings? What makes a robot move, and how does programming control its actions?
Robotics for Young Engineers introduces young learners to the fundamental ideas behind robots and automated machines. The book connects engineering, electronics, programming, mechanics, and problem-solving to explain how robotic systems are designed and controlled.
Rather than treating robots as mysterious machines, the book breaks their operation into understandable parts and concepts.
Inside the book, young learners explore:
- What robots are and how robotic systems work
- The main components found in robotic machines
- Motors and how they create movement
- Sensors and how machines collect information
- Robot movement and mechanical systems
- Basic programming concepts for robots
- Instructions, sequences, and decision-making
- How robots respond to their environment
- Controllers and the role of embedded systems
- How mechanical and electronic components work together
- Automation and automated machines
- The engineering process behind robot design
- Testing, troubleshooting, and improving robotic systems
A robot combines different technologies to perform a task. Mechanical components provide structure and movement, electronic components help control the system, sensors collect information, and software provides instructions.
Motors are important because they allow many robots to move. Depending on the design, motors can drive wheels, rotate joints, operate mechanisms, or perform other physical tasks.
Sensors give robots information about their surroundings or their own condition. A sensor might detect distance, light, temperature, motion, contact, or another physical property. The information collected by sensors can then be processed by a control system.
Programming provides instructions that tell a robotic system what to do. A program can specify actions, responses, sequences, and decisions. By combining programming with sensors and motors, engineers can create machines that respond to changing conditions.
The book also introduces the idea of automation. Automated machines can perform tasks with limited human intervention by following programmed instructions and responding to information from sensors or other inputs.
Robotics engineering requires several areas of knowledge to work together. Engineers may need to consider mechanical design, electrical systems, computer programming, control systems, materials, safety, and the environment in which a robot will operate.
Young learners can explore how engineers approach these challenges by breaking large problems into smaller parts. A robotic system can be examined component by component before understanding how the entire machine operates as one system.
Testing is another important part of robotics. A robot may not behave exactly as expected during its first test. Engineers observe the results, identify problems, adjust the design or program, and test the system again.
Robotics for Young Engineers encourages children to think about robots as engineering systems rather than simply machines from science fiction. It helps connect familiar technologies with the scientific and engineering principles that make them possible.
The book is designed for young learners who are curious about robotics, programming, machines, electronics, automation, and engineering.
From motors and sensors to programming and movement, Robotics for Young Engineers provides an accessible introduction to the systems and ideas behind modern robotic machines.
Explore the components. Understand the programming. Discover how engineers make machines sense, move, and respond.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
