What To Expect When You’re Expecting Robots: The Future of Human-Robot Collaboration PDF Summary

Most robots, to date, have been mere tools, performing simple tasks with significant human oversight. However, the next generation of robots will be truly social, operating on their own in our complex world. Indeed, robots are already wandering the aisle in grocery stores, managing emergency rooms, making deliveries, and zipping through warehouses. Whether they do these things well, argue robot designers Laura Major and Julie Shah, will depend on whether we’ve built them to know how to behave as social entities. That will require collective effort to ensure “that the new intelligent robots are harnessed to the task of enhancing human well-being This book, What to Expect When You’re Expecting Robots’ offers a vision for how robots can survive in the real world and how they will change our relationship to technology. It details from teaching them manners to robot-proofing public spaces to planning for their mistakes, this book answers every question you didn’t know you needed to ask about the robots on the way.”

“Major and Shah have written a highly entertaining book about the importance of understanding human-robot interaction. Hollywood has long given us a vision of what a future society full of robots may look like. What to Expect When You’re Expecting Robots book explains many of the challenges we will have to overcome to deliver on such a reality, from basic interaction to building complete eco-systems.”―Henrik Christensen, UC San Diego

What To Expect When You’re Expecting Robots poses thought provoking questions, and offers critical and timely advice about how to build and live with tomorrow’s working robots. With their breadth and depth of experience in industry and academia, I can’t think of anyone more qualified to start this important discussion than Laura Major and Julie Shah. A must-read for entrepreneurs, government officials, and citizens alike.”―Amy Villeneuve, former President and COO, Amazon Robotics
