About this ebook
How robots will change our world
Some fear that robots could do half our jobs and even wipe us out. But is that likely?
Smart machines already make our cars and clean our homes. Soon they could drive us about, teach our children, and keep our parents company.
While dealing with the ethical concerns about Artificial Intelligence, Bennie Mols and Nieske Vergunst reveal the history, present and future of robots. They show how moving AI could allow the lame to walk again, rescue survivors from collapsed buildings, and boost the global fight against hunger and pollution.
Welcome to a vivid view of our robot future. With 60 colour photos.
