Designing Robots Designing Humans

Designing Robots Designing Humans

Whilst most research concentrates on the imagined future of robotics this book brings together a group of international researchers to explore the different ways that robots and humans engage with one another at this point in history. Robotic design is advancing at an incredible pace and consequently the role of robots has expanded beyond mechanical work in the industrial sector to the social and domestic environment. From kitchen table pets in the shape of dinosaurs or baby seals to robot arms that assist with eating to self-driving cars this book explores the psychological impact of robotic engagement especially in domestic settings. Each chapter explores a different aspect of humanoid robotics for example the relationship between robotics and gender citizenship moral agency ethics inequality and psychological development as well as exploring the growing role of robots in education care work and intimate relationships. Drawing on research from across the fields of psychology anthropology and philosophy this ground-breaking volume discusses the emerging social side of robotics. By examining our relationship with robots now this book offers a new and innovative opportunity for understanding our future with robots and robotic culture. Designing Robots Designing Humans will be interest to researchers of artificial intelligence and humanoid robotics as well as researchers from cognitive and social psychology philosophy computer science anthropology linguistics and engineering backgrounds.

Robot Souls Programming in Humanity

Robot Souls Programming in Humanity

Two of the biggest design problems in Artificial Intelligence are how to build robots that behave in line with human values and how to stop them ever going rogue. One under-explored solution to these alignment and control problems might be to examine how these are already addressed in the design of humans. Looking closely at the human blueprint it contains a suite of capacities that are so clumsy they have generally been kept away from AI. It was assumed that robots with features like emotions and intuition that made mistakes and looked for meaning and purpose would not work as well as robots without this kind of code. But on considering why all these irrational properties are there it seems that they emerge from the source code of soul. Because it is actually this ‘junk’ code that makes us human and promotes the kind of reciprocal altruism that keeps humanity alive and thriving. Robot Souls looks at developments in AI and reviews the emergence of ideas of consciousness and the soul. It places our ‘junk code’ in this context and argues that it is time to foreground that code and to use it to look again at how we are programming AI. The book author Eve Poole received an OBE in the 2023 New Year Honours for services to education and gender equality. | Robot Souls Programming in Humanity

An Anthropology of Robots and AI Annihilation Anxiety and Machines

An Anthropology of Robots and AI Annihilation Anxiety and Machines

This book explores the making of robots in labs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It examines the cultural ideas that go into the making of robots and the role of fiction in co-constructing the technological practices of the robotic scientists. The book engages with debates in anthropological theorizing regarding the way that robots are reimagined as intelligent autonomous and social and weaved into lived social realities. Richardson charts the move away from the “worker” robot of the 1920s to the “social” one of the 2000s as robots are reimagined as companions friends and therapeutic agents. | An Anthropology of Robots and AI Annihilation Anxiety and Machines

Self-Aware Robots On the Path to Machine Consciousness

Self-Aware Robots On the Path to Machine Consciousness

This book focuses on the research and development in the field of self-aware robots. Its theme is artificial consciousness a field that covers both artificial intelligence and robotics and includes philosophy psychology the study of biological evolution physiology and medicine especially brain neuroscience and neuropsychiatry. Building on the first edition Creation of a Conscious Robot: Mirror Image Cognition and Self-Awareness this new edition discusses artificial neural networks and functions of human consciousness. It proposes a structure for a neural network with consciousness functions explains the construction of a conscious system and discusses the results of progressive research in designing and developing small robots with conscious systems capable of recognizing their own images in mirrors. Emphasizing the contributions of conscious robots to society and their potential future impact the book also describes the robots that know the unknown Pavlovian robots and the development of a consciousness model possessing the well-known multiple personality disorder. | Self-Aware Robots On the Path to Machine Consciousness
