Robots are out there, exploring worlds, while we are stuck on our tiny planet. Catch a mere glimpse of what they are up to. Follow the stories of four robots:

• In the deep ocean, a robot meets a new gargantuan creature.

• In the forest, a robot tries to understand the meaning of life.

• In the plains, a robot aids a new old friend.

• In the sky, a robot comes to a poetic conclusion.
