Artificial intelligence and robotics is everywhere: self-driving cars, weaponized military and police robots, manufacturing, medical robots, and in entertainment. The National Robotics Roadmap, which guides R&D funding for the country, and Department of Defense studies say that human-robot interaction is one of the most critical, but overlooked, areas in intelligent robotics. Human-robot interaction is about how people will work and collaborate with or around robots. It explores how we give commands to robots either explicitly or implicitly, how well they will be able to follow our directions and intent, and whether artificial intelligence will really lead to a robot uprising. It is a unique aspect of artificial intelligence with different frameworks and algorithms than those of deep learning or computer vision.
This book targets readers interested in artificial intelligence, from managers and investors trying to gain a better understanding of a new technology, to start-ups wanting to gain a competitive edge in human-friendly systems, to college and advanced high school students, or to those simply curious about AI and robotics. It can be used as a stand-alone text for self-study or home schooling or a supplemental text for a class in robotics or artificial intelligence. It uses the most famous and entertaining stories in the world about robots, including the ones that introduced the Three Laws of Robotics, as case studies. Each of the stories unintentionally illustrates one or more core concepts in human-robot interaction: how verbal and non-verbal communication works; the flaws in the Three Laws of Robotics; the Uncanny Valley; emotions; transparency and visibility as to what the robot is doing and how that leads to trust; the possibility of intentional deception; and if a robot can have full moral agency. The story is followed by description of how the science behind the core concept works at the level of a TED talk. In the last chapter, the book pulls together the individual concepts seen in the different stories into a comprehensive overview of the field of human-robot interaction, highlighting the challenges, and opportunities, of building artificially intelligent systems and the ethical implications. The book also provides study questions that can be used for self-study, home schooling, or in a classroom.
Prof. Robin R. Murphy is one of the founders of the field of human-robot interaction, an award winning textbook author, and has been declared one of the 30 Most Innovative Women Professors Alive Today by The Best Master’s Degrees and one of the most influential women in technology. She frequently appears on CNN, NBC, NPR, Popular Science, NY Times, and the popular press. Her TED talk on disaster robotics was cited by Chris Anderson as an example of a good talk in TED Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking. As an Innovative Teaching Faculty Fellow at Texas A&M, she pursues more engaging forms of education, particularly the use of science fiction to enable students to better visualize the abstract concepts in artificial intelligence, how the algorithms

Sorry, I sent out an update last week and it seems to have not been sent. :-(
The book is being copyedited as I type …
Howdy everyone!
The book is on track to be finished at the end of the month or the first week of December. It didn't attract …
