Societies survive in their environment and compete with each other
depending on the technology they develop. Economic, military and
political power are directly related to the available technology,
while access to technology is key to the well-being of our
societies at the individual, community and national level. The
Robotics Divide analyzes how robotics will shape our societies in
the twenty-first century; a time when industrial and service
robotics, particularly for military and aerospace purposes, will
become an essential technology. The book, written by experts in the
field, focuses on the main technological trends in the field of
robotics, and the impact that robotics will have on different
facets of social life. By doing so, the authors aim to open the
"black box" of a technology which, like any other, is designed,
implemented and evaluated according to the economic and cultural
patterns of a cosmopolitan society, as well as its relations of
power. The Robotics Divide explores future developments in robotics
technology and discusses the model of technological development and
the implementation of robotics in this competitive market economy.
Then the authors examine to what extent it is possible to determine
the characteristic features of the robotic divide, namely in what
ways the robotic divide differs from the digital divide, and how a
model to integrate this technology can be developed without
reproducing patterns of inequality and power that have
characterized the advent of previous technologies. These issues -
inequality, robotics and power - are of concern to robotics and
advanced automation engineers, social scientists, economists and
science policy experts alike.
