Summary

Daniela Rus, a leading roboticist and computer scientist, explores how we can use a new generation of smart machines to help humankind。

Daniela Rus, a leading roboticist and computer scientist, explores how we can use a new generation of smart machines to help humankind。 There is a robotics revolution underway。 A record 3。1 million robots are working in factories right now, doing everything from assembling computers to packing goods and monitoring air quality and performance。 A far greater number of smart machines impact our lives in countless other ways―improving the precision of surgeons, cleaning our homes, extending our reach to distant worlds―and we’re on the cusp of even more exciting opportunities。

In The Heart and the Chip, roboticist Daniela Rus and science writer Gregory Mone reframe the way we think about intelligent machines while weighing the moral and ethical consequences of their role in society。 At once optimistic and realistic, they envision a world in which these technologies augment and enhance our skills and talents, both as individuals and as a species―a world in which the proliferation of robots allows us all to be more human。

This book significantly increased the number of times I badgered my brother-in-law with questions about robotics。 (It's his fault really, that's what you get for being an aerospace engineer。) Although I don't anticipate reaching the same level of expertise as him, and especially not the esteemed Daniela Rus, the fact that I emerged from the book with better comprehension indicates its success。 There were times when the work became more vision than analysis of prototypes, Rus even stops to point This book significantly increased the number of times I badgered my brother-in-law with questions about robotics。 (It's his fault really, that's what you get for being an aerospace engineer。) Although I don't anticipate reaching the same level of expertise as him, and especially not the esteemed Daniela Rus, the fact that I emerged from the book with better comprehension indicates its success。 There were times when the work became more vision than analysis of prototypes, Rus even stops to point this out herself。 But if you want schematics, go take a robotics course! Rus isn't here to do the menial tasks for you, she's here to broaden your horizons about the possibilities of fusing humanity's creative potential with robotics, machine learning, and AI。 。。。more

So far, this is my favorite book in 2024。Romanian roboticist Daniela Rus joins forces with expert writer Gregory Mone to make a engrossing book about future robots。She defines robots loosely: self-driving cars and the daVinci surgical robot (which is teleoperated) are robots。 As a result, the book has a wide scope。She's a techno-optimist who believes robots will co-exist and complement humans。 Yes, jobs will be destroyed just like cars and computers destroyed industries and jobs。However, new job So far, this is my favorite book in 2024。Romanian roboticist Daniela Rus joins forces with expert writer Gregory Mone to make a engrossing book about future robots。She defines robots loosely: self-driving cars and the daVinci surgical robot (which is teleoperated) are robots。 As a result, the book has a wide scope。She's a techno-optimist who believes robots will co-exist and complement humans。 Yes, jobs will be destroyed just like cars and computers destroyed industries and jobs。However, new jobs will crop up。What she emphasizes is that the heart must work with the computer chip。It's a perfect book for anyone who wonders where robots are and where they're going。 。。。more
