1) Industrial robotics control: mathematical models, software architecture, and electronics design

Author

2) The end of astronauts: why robots are the future of exploration

Author

Description

"Governments, companies, and private investors spend billions on astronaut-dependent space travel, but the work is dangerous and unhealthy to human bodies-so that executing missions may simply not be worth the cost. The future will be one of robots, heirs to the Perseverance rover on Mars, equipped with artificial intelligence and capable of autonomous exploration"--

"Most robots are glorified power tools, limited in scope and subject to constant human control... But not for long. As roboticists Laura Major and Julie Shah argue, tomorrow's robots will not be our tools but our collaborators. They'll operate on their own in busy, unpredictable pubic spaces, driving our trucks, doing our grocery shopping, patrolling our neighborhoods, and even managing our ER's... They'll be our first truly social machines.. [This...

" At the root of inequality, unemployment, and populism are radical changes in the world economy. Digital technology is allowing talented foreigners to telecommute into our workplaces and compete for service and professional jobs. Instant machine translation is melting language barriers, so the ranks of these "tele-migrants" will soon include almost every educated person in the world. Computing power is dissolving humans' monopoly on thinking, enabling...

20) Human + machine: reimagining work in the age of AI

Author

Daugherty, Paul R

Description

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how we work right now. Are you ready? In the past, robots were typically large pieces of machinery, sectioned off from human workers to perform precise, mechanical tasks on an assembly line. But now, bots and other AI technologies go far beyond this in augmenting human capabilities--not just robots on the factory floor of an auto plant, but algorithms in the back office of a healthcare insurer and chatbots...
