Our robots, ourselves : robotics and the myths of autonomy / David A. Mindell. by Mindell, David A., author. New York, New York : Viking, c2015. Subjects Autonomous robots.   Artificial intelligence.   Robotics.   Robots.   Disruptive technologies. ISBN:  9780525426974 (hardcover : alk. paper) : 0525426973 (hardcover : alk. paper) Description:  x, 260 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "From drones to Mars rovers -- an exploration of the most innovative use of robots today and a provocative argument for the crucial role of humans in our increasingly technological future. In Our Robots, Ourselves, David Mindell offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the cutting edge of robotics today, debunking commonly held myths and exploring the rapidly changing relationships between humans and machines. Drawing on firsthand experience, extensive interviews, and the latest research from MIT and elsewhere, Mindell takes us to extreme environments -- high atmosphere, deep ocean, and outer space -- to reveal where the most advanced robotics already exist. In these environments, scientists use robots to discover new information about ancient civilizations, to map some of the world's largest geological features, and even to "commute" to Mars to conduct daily experiments. But these tools of air, sea, and space also forecast the dangers, ethical quandaries, and unintended consequences of a future in which robotics and automation suffuse our everyday lives. Mindell argues that the stark lines we've drawn between human and not human, manual and automated, aren't helpful for understanding our relationship with robotics. Brilliantly researched and accessibly written, Our Robots, Ourselves clarifies misconceptions about the autonomous robot, offering instead a hopeful message about what he calls "rich human presence" at the center of the technological landscape we are now creating."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 629.892 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 629.892 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
