The book takes a close look at the social dimensions of robotics.
It examines some of the projects on which robotic engineers are
presently working, explores the dreams and hopes connected with
these undertakings and determines if there is a relation between
automation and unemployment within the socio-economic system.
Furthermore, it explores the possible futures generated by the
development of artificial intelligence and outlines the core ideas
of roboethics. Last but not least, it examines the systems of
military robots, with special emphasis on the ethical issues raised
by the design, construction and utilization of these systems of
weaponry.
