Description

Stories from the future of intelligent machines are becoming increasingly plausible. Advances in robotics could bring us closer to autonomous humanoids that can carry out a wide range of tasks. Dario Floreano and Nicola Nosengo explore how cutting-edge research is making this possible, with robots inspired by living organisms that can interact physically with humans and their environment. These stories from the not-so-distant future show us robots that can be used to mitigate the effects of climate change, provide healthcare, work alongside humans on factory floors, and more. The authors explain how technologies like soft robotics, swarm robotics, and humanoid robots are enabling these capabilities. By understanding the underlying technologies, we can see how robotics is being applied to real-world challenges. While robotics technology is no silver bullet for all the world's problems, it can help us tackle some of the most pressing challenges we face. This book brings you tales from the future of intelligent machines, along with accounts of the research that could make them a reality.
