Publisher's Synopsis
This book challenges the field of human-robot interaction research and AI in many ways, especially regarding the complexity of the physical world. While physical interactions require Artificial Intelligence techniques to handle dynamic, nondeterministic, and partially unknown environments, communication with humans requires socially acceptable responses and common-sense knowledge to handle a broad variety of situations with complex semantics to interpret and understand. Learn AI and Human-Robot interaction from this book provides a fun introduction to human-robot interaction for everyman, bridging advanced high school students to managers to students and teachers looking for a supplemental textbook for formal courses in artificial intelligence and robotics.
Topics include
- how verbal and non-verbal communication works
- the flaws in the Laws of Robotics in science fiction
