About this product

Product Information

Most robots are just tools. They do limited sets of tasks subject to constant human control. But a new type of robot is coming. These machines will operate on their own in busy, unpredictable public spaces. They'll ferry deliveries, manage emergency rooms, even grocery shop. Such systems could be truly collaborative, accomplishing tasks we don't do well without our having to stop and direct them. This makes them social entities, so, as robot designers Laura Major and Julie Shah argue, whether they make our lives better or worse is a matter of whether they know how to behave. What to Expect When You're Expecting Robots offers a vision for how robots can survive in the real world and how they will change our relationship to technology. From teaching them manners, to robot-proofing public spaces, to planning for their mistakes, this book answers every question you didn't know you needed to ask about the robots on the way.

    So, conflicted with this transaction.... Book was NOT in "Good" condition as listed; it was damaged in transit due to being sent in just a plastic bag, it was dirty, an ex-library book which wasn't mentioned, the dustjacket had stuck to the boards & there was an insect cocoon inside the cover. BUT - the book was perfectly readable if that's all you need, & the seller was very swift to refund me the full amount without even requesting the book to be returned, so, overall experience positive. Thnx

    Item in good condition and as described. It was dispatched on time, but unfortunately the delivery company Evri were dreadful and took 8 days finally to deliver the product having sent it out for delivery on no fewer than four occasions and then sent a message saying “we weren’t able to deliver your item”. This was not due to any problem at our end and there was always somebody to receive the item each time.
