Abstract:
This book explores some of the projects on which robotic engineers are presently working and the possible futures generated by the development of artificial intelligence. Its main focus is on the social dimensions of robotics. It examines sociological, economic, ethical, and political problems related to the developments of industrial, domestic, entertainment, and military robotics.
