Robotics - A Reference Guide to the New Technology (Hardcover, New)

Although advanced technologies are the cornerstone of modern life, few people understand how technologies such as robotics or nuclear science actually work. Fewer still realize how - and how dramatically - technology influences our society and culture. "Robotics" is a reference guide that provides nonspecialists with the most up-to-date information on seminal developments in the technology of robotics, as well as covering the social, political, and technical impacts of those developments on everyday life, both now and in the future. "Robotics" includes chapters on: robot technology pioneers, visionaries, and advocates; how robot technology works; the impact of Robotics on broader society; controversial issues involving robotic technology; and the future of robotic technology. The volume includes a chronology of the technology, a glossary, a list of organisations involved in robotics, and a thorough list of sources for further research.
