Beschreibung

A near Fine unmarked copy with evidence of small label removal to front pastedown with a VG dustjacket. The book starts by examining the legacy of superstition and fear that robots have inherited from legend and science fiction and explains the various scientific developments which have come together to create the contemporary industrial robot. The robots in use in industry, though sophisticated pieces of equipment, both lack perception and intelligence but by current efforts to provide robots with the ability to see, hear and interpret their surroundings mean that we can see the prospect of machines compatible with man. 2 Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
