robotics

"Examines the key discoveries and technological marvels that have changed not only our understanding of the universe, but also the ways in which we communicate every day"--Provided by publisher.

Explores the various coding careers, focusing on transportation engineering.

"The term 'artificial intelligence' (AI) was introduced in 1956, but it has drastically evolved since then, with today's AI designed to independently adapt to and learn from new data. AI is a branch of robotics, which involves programming machines to automatically complete complicated tasks. The opportunities to simplify and enhance daily life these machines offer could make them instrumental to the further development of humankind. However, concerns about what can be accomplished through robotics, the extent to which humans can control sophisticated AI, and the impact robots and AI will have on labor, warfare, and health must also be considered"--Provided by publisher.

An introduction to robotics.

An assessment of the revolutionary potential of artificial intelligence and robotics traces how technology arrived at this point and how artificial life, machine consciousness, extreme prosperity, and technological warfare will be hotly debated issues of the near future.

"Robots are everywhere! . . . learn about these devices that vacuum our houses, work in our factories, help us learn at school, sample rocks from other planets, and even bring back images from the bottom of the ocean . . . find hands-on STEM activities, coding challenges that use free online software, essential questions, and links to online primary resources"--Provided by publisher.

The science of robotics combines computer power, engineering excellence, and true creativity to build machines that will make our lives easier.
