Summer vacation is on its way and you think you'll take a break from your job, ...relax, go to the beach, play with the kids and not think about robotics... Really?
For those who are anxious about doing a deep robotic relapse during the summer holidays, we have prepared an easy robotic reading list from our blog articles. Short, easy to read, they will be the perfect reading for when the kids take their afternoon nap and they will help you make it through your holidays.
Enjoy ;)
