10 Robot Coloring Pages Your Tech-Savvy Kid Will Go Nuts (And Bolts) Over
Remember Rosie from The Jetsons? She was a family favorite in entertainment for years, with her helping hands and snarky remarks. That was back in the day when robots seemed almost fictional — definitely too good to be true. Yet, to this day, we all not-so-secretly wish we had a Rosie at home too. Of course, with today’s technology, we’ve got unlimited access to robots without even lifting a finger: “Alexa, tell the kids to take out the trash.” She may not be Rosie, but she’s still pretty nifty if you ask us. Because, if we’re being honest, we’re every bit as fascinated by the wonderful world of science and technology today as we were the first time we dared to imagine life with high-tech talking robots. So, is it any wonder we decided to create a collection of robot coloring pages?
Before we get to the nuts and bolts of these pages, let’s explore a few interesting facts. The word “robot” comes from the Czech word “robota,” which means “drudgery.” Robots are essentially machines that are run by computer programs. The field in which we study robots is called robotics. And we probably don’t have to tell you that technological advances made in recent years are incredible — today’s robots can do amazing things like go deep-sea diving in Antarctica, improvise a drum riff, and help stroke victims with personal hygiene tasks. How awesome is that?!

Do you have a robot vacuum cleaner? If so, you might be interested to know that the concept has been around since 1996. Inventor James Dizon came up with the original design. A well-known Swedish appliance manufacturer, Electrolux, caught wind of the news and purchased the invention. It didn’t take off right away, but other brands picked up the idea (and it underwent lots of design changes and upgrades!). The robot vacuum eventually emerged as the cleaning staple many people swear by today.

He was featured in a movie and now lives at the Mansfield Memorial Museum, where he’s remembered as one of our nation’s most incredible scientific advancements.
