Book
Robotics: Applications and Social Implications
This seminal work provides a comprehensive analysis of the burgeoning field of robotics during the early 1980s, focusing on both technical capabilities and the resulting societal shifts. The authors examine the evolution of industrial robots, their integration into manufacturing processes, and the economic justification for their use. Beyond technical specifications, the book delves into the profound social implications of automation, specifically addressing potential job displacement, changes in the nature of work, and the long-term impacts on the global labor market. By combining engineering insights with socio-economic forecasting, Ayres and Miller provide a balanced perspective on how robotic technology reshapes industrial productivity and human society.
