Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a clear, yet comprehensive overview of the role of robots in our society. It especially focuses on the interaction between humans and robots, and on the social and political aspects of the integration of robots with humans, in their everyday life, both in the private and working sphere alike. Based on the lessons held by the author at "Scuola di Politiche" (transl. School of Political Sciences), this self-contained book mainly addresses an educated, though not-specialist, audience.
