商品描述

With robots, we are inventing a new species that is part material and part digital. The ambition of modern robotics goes beyond copying humans, beyond the effort to make walking, talking androids that are indistinguishable from people. Future robots will have superhuman abilities in both the physical and digital realms. They will be embedded in our physical spaces, with the ability to go where we cannot, and will have minds of their own, thanks to artificial intelligence. In Robot Futures, the roboticist Illah Reza Nourbakhsh considers how we will share our world with these creatures, and how our society could change as it incorporates a race of stronger, smarter beings.

Nourbakhsh imagines a future that includes adbots offering interactive custom messaging; robotic flying toys that operate by means of "gaze tracking"; robot-enabled multimodal, multicontinental telepresence; and even a way that nanorobots could allow us to assume different physical forms. Nourbakhsh examines the underlying technology and the social consequences of each scenario. He also offers a counter-vision: a robotics designed to create civic and community empowerment. His book helps us understand why that is the robot future we should try to bring about.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在機器人的世界中,我們正在創造一個新物種,它既是物質的一部分,也是數位的一部分。現代機器人的野心超越了模仿人類的範疇,超越了製造出與人難以區分的行走、說話的機器人的努力。未來的機器人將在物理和數位領域都具有超人的能力。它們將嵌入我們的物理空間,能夠到達我們無法到達的地方,並且擁有自己的思想,這要歸功於人工智慧。在《機器人未來》一書中,機器人學家Illah Reza Nourbakhsh考慮了我們將如何與這些生物共享世界,以及隨著它們的加入,我們的社會可能會發生的變化。Nourbakhsh想像了一個未來的場景,其中包括提供互動式定制訊息的廣告機器人;通過「凝視追蹤」操作的機器人飛行玩具;機器人實現的多模態、多大陸的遠程互動;甚至還有納米機器人讓我們能夠改變身體形態的方式。Nourbakhsh探討了每個場景的基礎技術和社會後果。他還提出了一個對立的願景:一種旨在創造公民和社區賦能的機器人技術。他的書幫助我們理解為什麼這是我們應該努力實現的機器人未來。
