Robots: A Reference Handbook differs from most other books on robotics in the variety of resources that it provides to readers of all ages.


• Walks the reader through the surprisingly rich history of robotics

• Details how robots have developed across the globe

• Introduces the reader to a variety of technical, social, political, ethical, and economic issues related to the widespread use of robots today

• Provides a variety of resources that can be used in further study of robotics



Newton, an author of textbooks, encyclopedias, and other educational materials, offers a resource on robots in the Western world, particularly the US, that discusses the evolution of automata throughout history and the role of robots in today's world, their benefits and risks, and related issues like the jobless future and robots in the workplace. He also provides essays on the experiences and opinions of individuals involved in the field of robotics, on topics like engaging students through robotics, robotics in health care and research, care robots, social robots for individuals with autism, and chatbots; a review of key individuals and organizations; key data and documents; an annotated bibliography; and a chronology.
