Description
Robotics: A Very Short Introduction by Alan Winfield Robots have become an integral part of modern manufacturing and warehouse automation, as well as in homes and hospitals. They have also played a significant role in planetary exploration. Despite their successes, robots have not yet lived up to the predictions made in the 1950s and 60s about having intelligent robots as butlers or companions. This book explores how robotics can be both a success story and a disappointment, examining its developments in science and applications to everyday life. It provides an overview of the field, looking at what has been achieved and what remains to be discovered. The Very Short Introductions series offers pocket-sized books that provide a quick introduction to almost every subject area. This book is no exception, providing a concise and accessible guide to robotics.
