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. They will be fully connected to the digital world, far better at carrying out online tasks than we are. 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 follows each glimpse into the robotic future with an examination of the underlying technology and an exploration of the social consequences of the scenario.
Each chapter describes a form of technological empowerment -- in some cases, empowerment run amok, with corporations and institutions amassing even more power and influence and individuals becoming unconstrained by social accountability. (Imagine the hotheaded discourse of the Internet taking physical form.) Nourbakhsh 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程度,超越了製造出無法區分人類的行走、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。它們將完全連接到數位世界,在執行線上任務方面比我們更優秀。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,以及當我們將一群更強大、更聰明的存在納入社會時,我們的社會可能會發生什麼變化。Nourbakhsh想像了一個未來,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;機器人實現多模態、多大陸的遠程存在;甚至還有一種納米機器人可以讓我們擁有不同的物理形態。Nourbakhsh在每個對機器人未來的一瞥之後,都會對潛在技術進行探討,並探索情景的社會後果。
每一章描述了一種技術賦權的形式,有時候,這種賦權失控了,企業和機構積聚了更多的權力和影響力,個人也不再受到社會責任的約束。(想像一下互聯網上的激烈言論以實體形式存在。)Nourbakhsh還提供了一種對立的願景:一種旨在創造公民和社區賦權的機器人技術。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。
