About the author

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 actually work, what would be the impact on systems design, and explore the ethics of artificial intelligence. This resulted in her Robotics Through Science Fiction blog, her book 2018 book Robotics Through Science Fiction: Artificial Intelligence Explained Through Six Classic Robot Short Stories, and her ongoing column on science fiction and science fact for Science Robotics, one of the top scientific journals.

Update #1 - Details about the book! Nov. 12, 2019

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  a big publisher so I am going with self-publishing on Amazon which can handle ebooks and also print out bound softcover copies in less than a week as well.  It is amazing to me that small publishing houses want months to print out books that are already type set and copy-edited. 

I've changed the topics of two of the chapters-- the chapter on Escape! is now about the types of user interfaces and the chapter on Little Lost Robot is on how robots are programmed and how that impacts HRI. Both were originally about some variant of lying and emotions but those concepts gets covered in other chapters and so were redundant. Plus I realized that most of the Asimov stories are so oriented towards natural language interfaces (because the ambiguity of natural language makes it easy to generate new plot lines!) and readers might miss some of the basics. 

Thanks for your support!
