Description

Robots: An Introduction to the Current State and Future of Robotics. This accessible account explores the world of robots, covering their current state, popular culture, and implications for life and work. As robots enter the mainstream, they are being adopted by governments and companies alike, with technologies advancing to the point of mass commercialization. However, the public's understanding of robots is often shaped by science fiction and fantasy, rather than real-life examples. In this book, technology analyst John Jordan provides a comprehensive introduction to robotics, covering state-of-the-art applications, economic implications, and cultural context. He chronicles the history of robots, from their origins in science fiction to their current use in industries such as manufacturing and transportation. By examining the technical, social, and ethical aspects of robotics, Jordan offers a nuanced understanding of this rapidly evolving field. The book delves into the complexities of robotics design, highlighting the interplay between technical and non-technical factors that shape its development and application.
