Description
Living with Robots: What Every Anxious Human Needs to Know
Ruth Aylett and Patricia Vargas explore the capabilities and limitations of robots, revealing how they work and what we can reasonably expect from their future capabilities. From chatbots and prosthetics to autonomous cars and robot swarms, the authors discuss the history of our fascination with robots and examine the ways in which they outperform humans and fall short.
They consider topics such as robot features inspired by animals and insects, human abilities that are hard for robots to emulate, and the development of feelings for robots. The book also looks at robots that raise ethical and social issues, including killer robots, sexbots, and those that might be gunning for your job.
