Opis: Just Ordinary Robots - Rinie van Est, Lamber Royakkers

A social robot is a robot that interacts and communicates with humans or other autonomous physical agents by following social behaviors and rules attached to its role. We seem to accept the use of robots that perform dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs. But how far do we want to go with the automation of care for children and the elderly, or the killing of terrorists? Would we be setting humanity aside if we accepted such automation? Just Ordinary Robots: Automation from Love to War provides a socially involved, yet sober, view into the new age of robots. It supplies a cutting-edge look at robot technologies, including what these technologies are capable of and the ethical and regulatory questions they raise. The book surveys the various types of social robots and examines their social significance in homes, health care, traffic, the police, and the military. Considering the technical characteristics and societal expectations of robots in these areas, it explores what is possible right now in terms of robot technologies. It also looks into the social, ethical, and regulatory issues future robot technologies will create. The text provides authoritative insights into the social significance of robots for the medium and long term. Illustrating the political, administrative, and regulatory consequences related to each area, it highlights key points that need to be publicly discussed or put on the agenda by today's politicians and policy makers. "Just Ordinary Robots: Automation from Love to War examines the social significance of the new generation of five types of robots: the home robot, the care robot, police and private drones, the car robot, and the military robot. ... This book is the result of many years of research by the Rathenau Institute, The Netherlands' key research and debating center for science, technology, and society. In 2012, this research led to the publication of the Dutch book Overal Robots (Robots Everywhere), written by Lamber Royakkers, Floortje Daemen, and Rinie van Est. This book is an updated and drastically revised version of that book." -From the Book's Foreword by Frans Brom, Head of Technology Assessment, Rathenau Institute, The Hague, The NetherlandsRobots Everywhere With Vision Technically Speaking From Automata to Robots Robot-Friendly Environments Robot Body Robot Brain Networked Robots and Human-Based Computing Seen Socially Information Technology Lifelike Appearance Level of Autonomy Robotization as Rationalization More Explorations Interview with Luciano Floridi (Philosopher and Ethicist of Information at Oxford University) References Home Is Where the Robot Is: Mechanoids, Humanoids, and Androids Introduction Mechanoid Robots: The Vacuum Cleaner Experiences of Early Adaptors: Roombarization Reducing Complexity of Household Tasks Liability of Home Robots Humanoid Robots: The Companion Robot Body Human-Robot Interaction Social De-Skilling Android Robots: The Sex Robot Roxxxy Benefits of Sex Robots Social and Ethical Issues Observational Conclusions Household Robots Companion and Sex Robots Interview with Kerstin Dautenhahn (Professor of Artificial Intelligence, University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom) References Taking Care of Our Parents: The Role of Domotics and Robots Introduction Domotics for Care for the Elderly Paradigmatic Shift in Care Ethical Issues From Home Robotics to Robots in the Home Increasing the Pace of the Paradigmatic Shift in Care General Ethical Issues Relating to Care Robots Specific Ethical Issues with Regard to the Role of Care Robots Robot as Companion Robot as Cognitive Assistant of the Care Recipient Robot as (Supporter of the) Caregiver Observational Conclusions: The Long Term Interview with Hans Rietman (Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University of Twente) References Drones in the City: Toward a Floating Robotic Panopticon?
