automation

The manufacturing sector is growing and evolving, but at the same time, some jobs for production workers are on the decline. That's because machines and robots perform many tasks once done by humans. The result is a need for new kinds of production workers who can use and monitor the new manufacturing technology. This insightful volume explores these cutting-edge trends and helps readers discover what they can do to prepare to fill the needs for the new generation of manufacturing workforce.

"From leading data scientists Nick Polson and James Scott, what everyone needs to know to understand how artificial intelligence is changing the world and how we can use this knowledge to make better decisions in our own lives"--Amazon.

"A leading artificial intelligence researcher lays out a new approach to AI that will enable us to coexist successfully with increasingly intelligent machines"--Amazon.

"Native rural Virginian and now Chief technology officer at Microsoft, Kevin Scott, discusses the future of AI and how it can be realistically used to promote growth even as the job landscape shifts"--Provided by publisher.

Explores the latest developments in artificial intelligence technology, how it is used, and what might be in store for the future of AI.

Every day, robots become a bigger part of our lives. From the robots vacuuming our homes to self-scanning machines at the supermarket, robots do jobs faster than humans and often with fewer mistakes. This book takes a look at the amazing developments in robotic technology, from the early days of robots to the varied landscape of robotics we see today. Readers will learn the differences between robots being developed to look just like humans and the complex thinking machines designed to play chess or build cars, and explore the potential future robots have to change the world.

General Motors brought the first factory robot to life in 1961. The 4,000-pound assembly-line robot was named Unimate. It proved it could build cars twice as fast as humans could! In this children?s tech title, the behind-the-scenes robots that make factory work fly get much-deserved attention.

"Readers get acquainted with the people behind today's most cutting-edge technologies in the robotics field--from bright ideas to cool new products--and inspires readers to consider a high-tech future career . . . introduces six exciting careers and features sidebar activities that invite readers to Imagine That! and Dig Deeper! Includes table of contents, glossary, index, and supplementary backmatter"--Provided by publisher.

"What has A.I. brought us? Where will it lead us? The story of A.I. is the story of intelligence--of life processes as they evolve from bacteria (1.0) to humans (2.0), where life processes define their own software, to technology (3.0), where life processes design both their hardware and software. We know that A.I. is transforming work, laws, and weapons, as well as the dark side of computing (hacking and viral sabotage), raising questions that we all need to address"--Provided by publisher.

Future coders will learn about innovations in agriculture such as robotics, self-driving tractors, automated irrigation systems, aerial and ground-based monitoring tools, drone and satellite surveillance, air and soil sensors, and artificial intelligence, which are aiding in feeding the world.
