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.
