He is a very good first year high school student and found it to be both interesting and educational.. This book is very good to know details of orifice and Venturi meters.. But then again the things he was saying about the future I am starting to see in the new papers I guess I would have liked more hands, it really is a "Very Short Introduction".. This book was clearly written and had all the formulas (and derivations) necessary to do my work. I'm of the same school of thought, but it's surprising how many people deem them completely different.For example, when considering the implications of privacy and giving one's personal information up to 'trusted' parties, he asks us to consider whether we'd accept a "Rosie"-like robot from Google, provided for free, if in exchange we understood that it would mill about the house in spare time, learning about our personal habits and behavior and such. Some of the illustrations are hard to see on smaller kindles. Captures esoteric information in an easily understandable way.. At the same time, it makes it easy to imagine practical situations where the behavior of robots could have social ramifications between now and 20 or so years into the future.TAlan Winfield is Professor of Electronic Engineering and Director of the Science Communication Unit at the University of the West of England, Bristol. He conducts research in swarm robotics in the Bristol Robotics Laboratory and is especially interested in robots as working models of life, evolution, intelligence, and culture.
Robots have taken their first steps into homes and hospitals, and have seen spectacular success in planetary exploration. By introducing robots in this way this book builds a conceptual, non-technical picture of what a robot is, how it works, and how "intelligent" it is.. Not surprisingly, these parts each have a biological equivalent: a robot's camera is like an animal's eyes, a robot's microcomputer is equivalent to an animal's brain, and so on. This Very Short Introduction explains how it is that robotics can be both a success story and a disappointment, and how robots can be both ordinary and remarkable. Robotics is a key technology in the modern world, a well-established part of manufacturing and warehouse automation, assembling cars or washing machines, or moving goods to and from storage racks for Internet mail order. Yet despite these successes, robots have failed to live up to the predictions of the 1950s and 60s, when it was widely thought--by scientists as well as the public--that we would have, by now, intelligent robots as butlers, companions, or co-workers. Alan Winfield introduces the subject by looking at the parts that together make a robotHe conducts research in swarm robotics in the Bristol Robotics Laboratory and is especially interested in robots as working models of life, evolution, intelligence, and culture..
