Free Download Robots, Automation and the Innovation Economy
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1032934239 | 222 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 5 MB
Cascades of new technologies and innovations are entering our lives so fast that it is difficult for us to adapt to one innovation before the next becomes embedded into our everyday lives. What happens when the changes brought by technology are so profound that they affect all aspects of our lives? This book explores the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and intelligent robots on individuals, organizations and society, specifically examining the impact on jobs and workplaces in the future. It provides an understanding of how we can adapt to changes that appear like flocks of black swans.

Free Download The Laws of Robots: Crimes, Contracts, and Torts By Ugo Pagallo (auth.)
2013 | 202 Pages | ISBN: 9400765630 | PDF | 2 MB
This book explores how the design, construction, and use of robotics technology may affect today’s legal systems and, more particularly, matters of responsibility and agency in criminal law, contractual obligations, and torts. By distinguishing between the behaviour of robots as tools of human interaction, and robots as proper agents in the legal arena, jurists will have to address a new generation of "hard cases." General disagreement may concern immunity in criminal law (e.g., the employment of robot soldiers in battle), personal accountability for certain robots in contracts (e.g., robo-traders), much as clauses of strict liability and negligence-based responsibility in extra-contractual obligations (e.g., service robots in tort law). Since robots are here to stay, the aim of the law should be to wisely govern our mutual relationships.

Free Download Intelligent Robots and Cobots: Industry 5.0 Applications
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1394198175 | 421 Pages | PDF | 127 MB
Industry 5.0 focuses on using collaborative robots, or cobots, enabling users to design with greater freedom. This book, structured into 18 chapters and three sections – Fundamentals; Applications; and Challenges – reflect the current and emerging market trends that shape industrial growth. Each chapter explores how businesses incorporating hardware and software like AI, cognitive computing, blockchain, IIoT, and more―are capitalizing on these innovations to maintain a competitive edge. The research and development in the areas of technology has increased the cost-effectiveness and acceptance of these IoT-enabled devices in many different industries. Various sectors including manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and agriculture sectors, have begun incorporating robots and cobots into their operations. They are aiming to increase their productivity, reduce the downtime of their equipment, and optimize resource utilization.

Free Download Intelligent Robots and Drones for Precision Agriculture (Signals and Communication Technology) by Sundaravadivazhagan Balasubramanian, Gnanasankaran Natarajan, Pethuru Raj Chelliah
English | March 21, 2024 | ISBN: 3031511948 | 487 pages | MOBI | 16 Mb
This book provides extensive information about smart farming, precision agriculture and the technologies that make them succeed. The authors provide detailed machine learning and deep learning models and algorithms that can be implemented effectively to improve smart farming methods. The authors also give elaborate information about the various IoT devices and types of drones that are used vastly in smart farming culture. The authors show specifically how methods and techniques used to improve the crop yield can be executed to help the farmers to improve the agricultural process and cultivation methods using a rule-based methodology. The purpose of this book is to articulate the need for processes, platforms, practices, patterns, and rules to be followed for the better yield of crop production and how IoT, robotics and drones can be used to improve the economy of the countries in the field of agriculture. In a nutshell, the book shows how the combination of multiple cutting-edge technologies leads to the realization of state-of-the-art infrastructures for next-generation agriculture.

In 1941 Isaac Asimov famously introduced us to the idea of Robots with the ability to tell between right and wrong. However, as his stories go on to show, the ‘Laws of Robotics’ weren’t quite able to govern robots in a way that we would deem acceptable for humanity. In recent years, scientists have worked to try to understand how we might create robots with this capability – robots with morals – and as Robots and Artificial Intelligence Systems become more integrated into society and our lives, it seems that achieving this aim is as pertinent as ever.

Free Download Coding Robots – Wie Kinder Algorithmen entwickeln: Eine videobasierte Interaktionsanalyse
Deutsch | 2024 | ISBN: 3658464712 | 74 Pages | PDF (True) | 2 MB
In modernen Gesellschaften sind Algorithmen allgegenwärtig und beeinflussen nahezu jeden Aspekt des täglichen Lebens. Von der Reihenfolge der Suchergebnisse im Internet bis hin zur Optimierung von Routen – Algorithmen sind die unsichtbaren Kräfte, die die digitale Welt strukturieren und von dort ihre Wirkung auf die analoge Welt entfalten. Doch in welchem Alter können und sollten Menschen beginnen, ein Verständnis für diese komplexen Prozesse zu entwickeln? Welches Wissen über Algorithmen haben Kinder im Grundschulalter? Besitzen sie bereits die nötigen Dispositionen, um sich Vorstellungen und Kenntnisse zu Algorithmen selbst zu erarbeiten? Inga Lexow untersucht mit dieser Forschungsarbeit das algorithmische Denken von Grundschulkindern im Alter von acht bis neun Jahren anhand ihrer Interaktion mit dem Bildungsroboter von MatataLab. Durch detaillierte Beobachtungen und Analysen wird gezeigt, wie sich die Kinder eigenständig die Technologie des Coding-Sets von MatataLab aneignen und Algorithmen entwickeln, verstehen und anwenden. Von den Grundlagen der algorithmischen Denkweise bis hin zur praktischen Umsetzung von Lernumgebungen bietet dieses Buch wertvolle Einblicke für Pädagog*innen, Eltern und alle, die an der Integration von informatischer Bildung in der Grundschule interessiert sind.
