Zusatztext "This well-crafted collection of timely and thought-provoking essays investigates the opportunities and challenges socially interactive robots represent for us! our communities! and the collective human/robot future that is being assembled all around us. It is (or should be) essential reading for anyone - human or robot - seeking to understand the social conditions and configurations of the 21st century and beyond." -David J. Gunkel! Northern Illinois University! USA."The large-scale integration of social robotic technologies into our everyday life is a much-anticipated next step in the technological and human evolution. The collection of topics comprising this book provides the reader with an in-depth understanding of challenges and potentials of social robotics. It is a must-read for anyone interested in this field." - Hiroshi Ishiguro! Osaka University!
