BookPublisher: London : Allen Lane, 2021Description: 256 pages ; 24 cm.ISBN: 9780241352991 (hbk.) :; 0241352991 (hbk.) :.Classification number: 629.8924 DARSubject(s): Robotics -- Human factors | Human-machine systems | Human-animal relationships | Technology | TechnologySummary: The robots are here. They make our cars, they deliver fast food, they mine the sea floor. And in the near-future their presence will increasingly enter our homes and workplaces - making human-robot interaction a frequent, everyday occurrence. What will this future look like? What will define the relationship between humans and robots? Here Kate Darling, a world-renowned expert in robot ethics, shows that in order to understand the new robot world, we must first move beyond the idea that this technology will be something like us. Instead, she argues, we should look to our relationship with animals. Just as we have harnessed the power of animals to aid us in war and work, so too will robots supplement - rather than replace - our own skills and abilities.
