Alright, you non-fiction dweebs (which I count myself among), I got one for 'ya, though I can't attest to it's quality until I listen (which may be on the 32nd of never the way my TBR list has grown this year). Over at Science News you can get a free audiobook (direct link) of a compilation of articles entitled "Robots Revealed: Futuristic machines fly, grip, slice and sense their world."

Quote:
Imagine a robot performing surgery on a living body with perfection, without the help of a human surgeon. Or a drone zipping through the air smooth as a bird, fighting forest fires or catching environmental polluters. These futuristic-sounding ideas are already in the works, as robotics transforms life as we know it. The stories that follow from Science News take a look at the innovative ways that scientists are building machines to complete tasks – and even to think – as well as where the scientists are finding their sources of inspiration.
Enjoy!
