Robotics is a key technology in the modern world. Robots are a
well-established part of manufacturing and warehouse automation,
assembling cars or washing machines, and, for example, moving goods
to and from storage racks for Internet mail order. More recently
robots have taken their first steps into homes and hospitals, and
seen spectacular success in planetary exploration. Yet, despite
these successes, robots have failed to live up to the predictions
of the 1950s and 60s, when it was widely thought - by scientists
and engineers as well as the public - that by turn of the 21st
century we would have intelligent robots as butlers, companions, or
co-workers. This Very Short Introduction explains how it is that
robotics can be both a success story and a disappointment, how
robots can be both ordinary and remarkable, and looks at their
important developments in science and their applications to
everyday life. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions
series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in
almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect
way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors
combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to
make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
