Newsround chats with robot expert
Newsround's special series about robots has kicked off and Ayshah's been chatting to an expert about these creations.
Nigel Crook, from Oxford Brookes University, says robots are cool because they can mimic the behaviour of humans and animals and can sense and interact with the world around them.
