The Science & Technology area also features comparisons between humans and robots to see how humans already cope with some of the same problems robots now need to overcome. All of these sections are related to the secondary Science and the Design & Technology curriculum for ages 11 to 16.
The Science & Technology area features some movie clips. To view them, you need to have Real Player installed. You can download Real Player for free by clicking here. The software you need is called Real Player Basic.
