Science Robotics

Recent breakthroughs in AI have not only increased demand for AI products, they've also lowered the barriers to entry for those who want to build AI products. The model-as-a-service approach has transformed AI from an esoteric discipline into a powerful development tool that anyone can use. Everyone, including those with minimal or no prior AI experience, can now leverage AI models to build applications. In this book, author Chip Huyen discusses AI engineering: the process of building applications with readily available foundation models.

Militaries use robots and drones in the air, on the ground, and underwater all around the world. Drones spy on targets and robots disable bombs to get the job done!

Im neuen Buch des renommierten Zukunftsforschers und Technologie-Visionärs Ray Kurzweil wird eine faszinierende Vision der kommenden Jahre und Jahrzehnte entworfen – eine Welt, die von KI durchdrungen sein wird. Kurzweil skizziert in diesem intensiven Leseerlebnis eine Zukunft, in der Mensch und Maschine untrennbar miteinander verbunden sind. Eine Zukunft, in der wir unser Bewusstsein auf eine höhere Ebene heben werden, in der wir uns aus virtuellen Neuronen neu erschaffen werden, in der wir länger leben, gesünder und freier sein werden als je zuvor.

Too many CEOs tell a simple story about the future of work: If a machine can do what you do, your job will be automated. They envision everyone from doctors to soldiers rendered superfluous by ever-more-powerful AI. They offer stark alternatives: Make robots, or be replaced by them. Another story is possible. In virtually every walk of life, robotic systems can make labor more valuable, not less. Frank Pasquale tells the story of nurses, teachers, designers, and others who partner with technologists, rather than meekly serving as data sources for their computerized replacements.

While warnings of a robot world-takeover could seem dramatic, the truth is more mundane―robots have come to take our jobs. Winning in the Robotic Workplace: How to Prosper in the Automation Age will teach you the skills needed to reprogram the way you work in anticipation of this technological shift. Author John F. Wasik believes learning to thrive in the automation age can in fact humanize the workplace once again. You will learn to emphasize the conceptualization and pursuit of creative ideas, a practice that most robots are unequipped to perform in a meaningful way.

Can James Bond really escape from an armor-plated railroad car by cutting through the floor with a laser concealed in a wristwatch? What would it take to create a fully intelligent android, such as Star Trek’s Commander Data? Exploring Science Through Science Fiction addresses these and other intriguing questions, using science fiction as a springboard for discussing fundamental science concepts and cutting-edge science research.

This introduction to cyborg theory provides a critical vantage point for analyzing the claims around emerging technologies like automation, robots, and AI. Cyborg analyzes and reframes popular and scholarly conversations about cyborgs from the perspective of feminist cyborg theory.

Self-driving cars sound fantastical and futuristic, and yet they'll soon be on every street in America. Whether it's Tesla's Autopilot, Google's Waymo, Mercedes' Distronic, or Uber's modified Volvos, companies around the world are developing autonomous cars. But why? And what will they mean for the auto industry and humanity at large? In Robot, Take the Wheel, famed automotive expert Jason Torchinsky gives a colorful account of the development of autonomous vehicles and their likely implications.

Der Hype um Tesla und seinen CEO Elon Musk scheint ungebrochen: Mit seinen innovativen Elektrofahrzeugen hat Musk die Autoindustrie in ihren Grundfesten erschüttert und den Markt für alternative Antriebe erobert. Doch der Automobilexperte Edward Niedermeyer weiß um die Diskrepanz zwischen der Popularität und den alltäglichen Realitäten des Unternehmens. Die Fahrzeuge weisen ernsthafte Mängel auf, die Zweifel an der hohen Marktbewertung des Unternehmens aufwerfen.
