A master in the field of cognitive robotics, co-authored by 10 well-known experts in the field. It is full of fun and tells the cutting-edge robot technology in a language that the public can understand.

brief introduction

"Ten Lectures on Cognitive Robots: How Robots Perceive the World" Cognitive robotics is a branch of robotics research. Its goal is to give robots emotions, so that robots can observe and think like humans, can perceive the world, and have emotions.

This book is a masterpiece in the field of cognitive robotics. Written by dozens of experts, it presents the important ideas and technical achievements in the field of cognitive robotics in a panoramic view. The content is both professional and interesting. Reference materials can also be used as popular science books for the general audience after a meal.

There are 10 lectures in the whole book, and each lecture is written by scholars in the field, so the content of each lecture is relatively independent and echoes as a whole. We already have many fantasies about future AI (artificial intelligence) robots. With our expectations and the scientific research progress of scientists, it can be foreseen that AI people, especially humanoid robots, may be integrated into our lives in the near future and become our friends, partners, and even family members. But science is really a double-edged sword, and with it comes problems that we haven't faced before. In order to solve different types of robot accidents well, both the ethical and legal issues need to be carefully thought out and explored. Lecture 1 of this book draws on the example of a dancing robot accident to elicit thoughts on the judgment and punishment of legal liability after the robot causes injury. Lecture 2 begins to trace the source of inspiration for the design of intelligent robots. The different beliefs of Eastern and Western societies have produced different views of people in Eastern and Western societies on the "behavior of the creator" of developing intelligent robots, which in turn affects different research and development of intelligent robots. Robots are a product of social development to a certain extent, and the modular design of robots is inspired by the material culture of American Indian tribes. From the third lecture to the ninth lecture, from the behavior of "learning", to the intelligence level of the robot, and then to the research progress of the robot in the physical form and the spiritual world, the embodiment and capture of the emotional state of the robot, when it is given How to interact with humans in social roles. Robots even have their own culture, their own social consciousness. We study their behavior and emotions, intersecting cognitive psychology with cognitive robotics to make robots smarter by making them "self-learning". The last lecture of this book focuses on the research progress of humanoid robots similar in appearance to humans.
