The robots are coming :what every anxious human needs to know

Aylett, Ruth, - Personal Name; Vargas, Patricia A., - Personal Name; Sharkey, N. E. - Personal Name;

The truth about robots: two experts look beyond the hype, offering a lively and accessible guide to what robots can (and can't) do. There's a lot of hype about robots; some of it is scary and some of it utopian. In this accessible book, two robotics experts reveal the truth about what robots can and can't do, how they work, and what we can reasonably expect their future capabilities to be. It will not only make you think differently about the capabilities of robots; it will make you think differently about the capabilities of humans. Ruth Aylett and Patricia Vargas discuss the history of our fascination with robots?p0b4sfrom chatbots and prosthetics to autonomous cars and robot swarms. They show us the ways in which robots outperform humans and the ways they fall woefully short of our superior talents. They explain how robots see, feel, hear, think, and learn; describe how robots can cooperate; and consider robots as pets, butlers, and companions. Finally, they look at robots that raise ethical and social issues: killer robots, sexbots, and robots that might be gunning for your job.Living with Robots equips readers to look at robots concretely?p0b4sas human-made artifacts rather than placeholders for our anxieties.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.
