For someone that has 0 background in Quantum Computing, what would be a good book to start learning more about the topic?

Re:Bat Bot, the Flying First Robot Bat on Saturday February 04, 2017 @03:32PM (#13568878)

This reminds me of the first robot bird http://ed.ted.com/on/xtyd4M5V that was built a few years ago. I would be interested in knowing how difficult it is to build a robot bat once you already know how to build a robot bird. Is there any specific challenge in emulating the way bats fly compared to birds?
