Robots Weblog | E book evaluate: Robots and AI from the brand new SchlauFUX sequence from KOSMOS

Understand technology – without any technical jargon

Robots, artificial intelligence, machines that can learn – that sounds pretty complicated at first. This is exactly where “Robots and AI” comes into play. The book shows that technology doesn’t have to be intimidating, but can make you curious. In such a way that children from around 8 years of age can follow without any problems – and adults can often read along right away.

After the first few pages it becomes clear: This is not about understanding everything perfectly. It’s about discovering, being amazed and asking questions. And that is exactly what makes this book so appealing.

What awaits you in the book

Instead of being read strictly from front to back, this book invites you to read sideways. You can decide for yourself which topic interests you – almost as if you were strolling through a technology museum and stopping at the stations that appeal to you most.

The book is about, among other things,

what robots actually are and where we already meet them today, how artificial intelligence works – explains very simply why robots help in space, in hospitals or even when playing, how machines can learn and what that has to do with our own learning

The texts are deliberately kept short, are supplemented by pictures, information boxes and small additional information and can also be easily read in stages. So ideal for in between – or for a cozy afternoon of reading.

Why readers like the book

In reviews on platforms like Thalia, Hugendubel or Amazon you can read again and again that the book is really good for children. What is particularly positive is that technology is not explained dryly here, but rather in small morsels that arouse curiosity.

Many parents report that their children browse the book independently, leafing back and forth and continually discovering new pages. It is precisely this free reading that motivates – especially children who quickly lose interest in classic non-fiction books.

The way it is explained is also often praised. Technical terms are not simply written down, but explained in such a way that you can really understand them. Comparisons from everyday life often help, for example from games, school or your own home.

Another plus point is the design: the pages are colorful, clear and of high quality. The book feels sturdy, fits well in the hand and is also ideal as a gift.

My conclusion

“Kosmos SchlauFUX – Robots and AI” is a book that makes you want to look forward to the future. It explains big topics in an understandable way without simplifying them and shows that technology is not something out of the ordinary, but has long been part of our everyday lives.

What’s particularly nice is that you don’t have to be a technology professional to enjoy this book. Curiosity is enough – the rest comes almost naturally when you read. A book that you pick up again and again and discover something new every time.
