Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DREAM II(TM) (School Set) programmable robotic kit was released by ROBOTIS(R) in Spring 2018 for the USA market with a cost around $220 US. It is recommended for users at age 8 or older. It comes with instructions to build 23 programmable robot examples and it can be interfaced with two free popular programming tools: 1) The first interface uses a ROBOTIS tool called TASK(TM) which can generate machine code that runs on the robot controller CM-150 allowing it to interact with its built-in NIR sensors and miniature speaker, along with a variety of external actuators and sensors. These TASK codes can be developed on MS Windows(R) platforms or on iOS(R) and Android(R) mobile devices, and they can be deployed via USB (wired) or Bluetooth(R). 2) The second interface uses the Off-Line version of MIT's SCRATCH(R) 2 software to combine the power and multimedia services of a Windows PC with a direct control of the robot controller CM-150 via USB (wired) or Bluetooth and a helper application named R]SCRATCH, provided by ROBOTIS. This book is for you if you are a young robotics enthusiast looking at achieving on your own a firm foundation in robotics design and programming, or if you are an adult investigating the possible use of the DREAM II School Set to help children learn about robotics programming and design. This book will show that this kit can be quite a versatile tool to introduce students from 8 to 12 years old to fundamental concepts in several areas: mechanical design, computer programming, robot control, inter-device commu-nications and multimedia programming for richer story telling. This book consists of 6 chapters: 1) Chapter 1 presents an overview of the DREAM II system and its relationship with the SMART III system. The Sense-Think-Act paradigm used in developing the contents of this book is also described in this chapter. 2) Chapter 2 describes the hardware and software capabilities of the complete DREAM II system and shows how to get started with the School Set on Windows PCs as well as on Mobile Devices. This chapter also shows how to use the ROBOTIS MANAGER software tool using a basic wheeled robot design. 3) Chapter 3 is a substantial chapter providing a gradual but in-depth tutorial about applications of the R+TASK software tool using three robot designs - "Avoider/Follower," "TriCycle" and "Dowel Scanner." Topics included autonomous-behavior and remote-control algorithms, communications and audio programming techniques. PC and Mobile uses of the TASK tool are developed in this chapter. 4) Chapter 4 is also another substantial chapter mirroring the instructional approach and topics devel-oped in Chapter 3 but now using the R+SCRATCH/SCRATCH 2 tool chain and its multimedia and event programming features. 5) Chapter 5 presents mechanical design concepts inherent in the mechanical components provided in Level 1 of the "complete" DREAM II system (i.e. non-programmable), with the goal of helping students understand the mechanical design concepts represented in the provided Level 1 example robots and be creative in their own robot designs by showcasing additional mechanical concepts and robot designs. 6) Chapter 6 provides a closer look at select programmable robots provided in the School Set (i.e. Levels 2 and 3) to explain their hardware/software features and to offer suggestions to expand some selected robots beyond their original designs or solutions. This book also provides appropriate source codes and tutorial videos (via YouTube(R)) to illustrate the presented concepts, along with review questions to help students master learned materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2nd edition textbook has been expanded to include of 175 additional pages of additional content, created in response to readers feedback, as well as to new hardware and software releases. The book presents foundational robotics concepts using the ROBOTIS BIOLOID and OpenCM-904 robotic systems, and is suitable as a curriculum for a first course in robotics for undergraduate students or a self-learner. It covers wheel-based robots, as well as walking robots. Although it uses the standard “Sense, Think, Act” approach, communications (bot-to-bot and PC-to-bot) programming concepts are treated in more depth (wired and wireless ZigBee/BlueTooth). Algorithms are developed and described via ROBOTIS’ proprietary RoboPlus IDE, as well as the more open Arduino-based Embedded C environments. Additionally, a vast array of web-based multimedia materials are used for illustrating robotics concepts, code implementations and videos of actual resulting robot behaviors. Advanced sensor interfacing for gyroscope, inertial measuring unit, foot pressure sensor and color camera are also demonstrated.

Book excerpt: The MINI? programmable humanoid robotic kit was released by ROBOTIS® in 2014. It comes with a free Mobile App called MINI that allows beginner users to operate the MINI through its pre-programmed motions. But the potential use for this kit in educational robotics is largely untapped due to lack of information and practicum sources for users to develop their own projects and to help them learn more about humanoid robotics programming. This book is designed with the "Spiral Teaching" approach for developing MINI projects using 2 main software tools:1.ROBOTIS tools TASK, MOTION and R+m.PLAY700.2.EDBOT? to allow the use of standard development environments such as SCRATCH 2 and PYTHON.This approach allows MINI users to assess the capabilities and constraints of these tools in the development of their existing or potential project ideas.This book has 8 Chapters:Chapter 1 provides a systemic view of the MINI kit from its hardware components and software tools. Chapter 2 provides pre-assembly and post-assembly tips for the MINI kit. Chapter 3 focuses on the use of the ROBOTIS MANAGER tool.Chapter 4 provides MOTION foundational concepts such as KEY-FRAME, TIME-LINE and MOTION-UNIT as well as how-to techniques to use the ROBOTIS MOTION tool. Chapter 5 is a review of the features provided in the MINI App. Chapter 6 provides the foundational knowledge in computer programming structures and techniques with the ROBOTIS TASK tool. Chapter 7 illustrates the use of the R+m.PLAY700 App to access Smart Device features in a TASK program which allow the MINI's Controller to access Multimedia Services from mobile devices. Selected features are demonstrated: Touch Areas, Text Displays, Instruments Play, Text-to-Speech, Speech Recognition and Color Tracking with Mobile Video Camera.Chapter 8 assumes the reader to have some programming experiences in using SCRATCH 2 and PYTHON. It demonstrates the use of EDBOT to control two MINI robots from a single SCRATCH 2 or PYTHON program. It showcases Remote/Autonomous/Mixed Control applications using SCRATCH "Multi-Sprite" and "Broadcast-Message" features and demonstrates the use of the "Threading" and "OpenCV" modules in PYTHON applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories from the future of intelligent machines—from rescue drones to robot spouses—and accounts of cutting-edge research that could make it all possible. Tech prognosticators promised us robots—autonomous humanoids that could carry out any number of tasks. Instead, we have robot vacuum cleaners. But, as Dario Floreano and Nicola Nosengo report, advances in robotics could bring those rosy predictions closer to reality. A new generation of robots, directly inspired by the intelligence and bodies of living organisms, will be able not only to process data but to interact physically with humans and the environment. In this book, Floreano, a roboticist, and Nosengo, a science writer, bring us tales from the future of intelligent machines—from rescue drones to robot spouses—along with accounts of the cutting-edge research that could make it all possible. These stories from the not-so-distant future show us robots that can be used for mitigating effects of climate change, providing healthcare, working with humans on the factory floor, and more. Floreano and Nosengo tell us how an application of swarm robotics could protect Venice from flooding, how drones could reduce traffic on the congested streets of mega-cities like Hong Kong, and how a “long-term relationship model” robot could supply sex, love, and companionship. After each fictional scenario, they explain the technologies that underlie it, describing advances in such areas as soft robotics, swarm robotics, aerial and mobile robotics, humanoid robots, wearable robots, and even biohybrid robots based on living cells. Robotics technology is no silver bullet for all the world’s problems—but it can help us tackle some of the most pressing challenges we face.

Book excerpt: For readers of The Second Machine Age or The Soul of an Octopus, a bold, exciting exploration of how building diverse kinds of relationships with robots—inspired by how we interact with animals—could be the key to making our future with robot technology work There has been a lot of ink devoted to discussions of how robots will replace us and take our jobs. But MIT Media Lab researcher and technology policy expert Kate Darling argues just the opposite, suggesting that treating robots with a bit of humanity, more like the way we treat animals, will actually serve us better. From a social, legal, and ethical perspective, she shows that our current ways of thinking don’t leave room for the robot technology that is soon to become part of our everyday routines. Robots are likely to supplement—rather than replace—our own skills and relationships. So if we consider our history of incorporating animals into our work, transportation, military, and even families, we actually have a solid basis for how to contend with this future. A deeply original analysis of our technological future and the ethical dilemmas that await us, The New Breed explains how the treatment of machines can reveal a new understanding of our own history, our own systems, and how we relate—not just to nonhumans, but also to one another.

Book excerpt: Can robots dream? Do they experience human emotions like fear and ethical dilemmas? They do, if, like André, the year is 2101 and domestic humanoids―programmed to take care of owners' health and wellbeing―use their built-in artificial intelligence to learn and acquire advanced human social skills.André, a smart, domestic humanoid living on Earth becomes abandoned, hunted, and distraught over the mysterious disappearance of his owner and mentor, Clem Wellman. Why has Clem been kidnapped and his family annihilated? André decides he must impersonate a human in order to investigate the treacherous intrigues of weaponized corporate cities. Clem was at one time an inventor, a retired engineer quietly living in Mesa Charter City. Andre is his devoted friend and employee.Andre lives in fear of being discovered and disassembled into his component mechanical parts―ignoring his advanced acquisition of AI emotional feelings and what he experiences as his quintessential soul. The reader is transported into the mind of a 22nd Century android as he struggles with his understanding of consciousness, self-awareness, and the will to survive.In his quest to save his owner, Andre faces renegade robots, arms dealers, evil oligarchs and their malicious minions, driving him to align support with his old friends from Dream Hackers. This is a story, told from the perspective of a robot, about the future of artificial intelligence, our society, and how humans manage to mismanage their interactions. Today, we believe we master machines. In 2101, they may master us.Robot Dreams is the sequel to my best selling book, Dream Hackers; however, it is not a prerequisite of reading the original to enjoy the sequel.

Book excerpt: “[An] essential book… it is required reading as we seriously engage one of the most important debates of our time.”—Sherry Turkle, author of Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age From drones to Mars rovers—an exploration of the most innovative use of robots today and a provocative argument for the crucial role of humans in our increasingly technological future. In Our Robots, Ourselves, David Mindell offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the cutting edge of robotics today, debunking commonly held myths and exploring the rapidly changing relationships between humans and machines. Drawing on firsthand experience, extensive interviews, and the latest research from MIT and elsewhere, Mindell takes us to extreme environments—high atmosphere, deep ocean, and outer space—to reveal where the most advanced robotics already exist. In these environments, scientists use robots to discover new information about ancient civilizations, to map some of the world’s largest geological features, and even to “commute” to Mars to conduct daily experiments. But these tools of air, sea, and space also forecast the dangers, ethical quandaries, and unintended consequences of a future in which robotics and automation suffuse our everyday lives. Mindell argues that the stark lines we’ve drawn between human and not human, manual and automated, aren’t helpful for understanding our relationship with robotics. Brilliantly researched and accessibly written, Our Robots, Ourselves clarifies misconceptions about the autonomous robot, offering instead a hopeful message about what he calls “rich human presence” at the center of the technological landscape we are now creating.

Book excerpt: "With robots, we are inventing a new species that is part material and part digital. The ambition of modern robotics goes beyond copying humans, beyond the effort to make walking, talking androids that are indistinguishable from people. Future robots will have superhuman abilities in both the physical and digital realms. They will be embedded in our physical spaces, with the ability to go where we cannot, and will have minds of their own, thanks to artificial intelligence. They will be fully connected to the digital world, far better at carrying out online tasks than we are. In Robot Futures, the roboticist Illah Reza Nourbakhsh considers how we will share our world with these creatures, and how our society could change as it incorporates a race of stronger, smarter beings. Nourbakhsh imagines a future that includes adbots offering interactive custom messaging; robotic flying toys that operate by means of "gaze tracking"; robot-enabled multimodal, multicontinental telepresence; and even a way that nanorobots could allow us to assume different physical forms. Nourbakhsh follows each glimpse into the robotic future with an examination of the underlying technology and an exploration of the social consequences of the scenario. Each chapter describes a form of technological empowerment -- in some cases, empowerment run amok, with corporations and institutions amassing even more power and influence and individuals becoming unconstrained by social accountability. (Imagine the hotheaded discourse of the Internet taking physical form.) Nourbakhsh also offers a counter-vision: a robotics designed to create civic and community empowerment. His book helps us understand why that is the robot future we should try to bring about."--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How deep learning—from Google Translate to driverless cars to personal cognitive assistants—is changing our lives and transforming every sector of the economy. The deep learning revolution has brought us driverless cars, the greatly improved Google Translate, fluent conversations with Siri and Alexa, and enormous profits from automated trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Deep learning networks can play poker better than professional poker players and defeat a world champion at Go. In this book, Terry Sejnowski explains how deep learning went from being an arcane academic field to a disruptive technology in the information economy. Sejnowski played an important role in the founding of deep learning, as one of a small group of researchers in the 1980s who challenged the prevailing logic-and-symbol based version of AI. The new version of AI Sejnowski and others developed, which became deep learning, is fueled instead by data. Deep networks learn from data in the same way that babies experience the world, starting with fresh eyes and gradually acquiring the skills needed to navigate novel environments. Learning algorithms extract information from raw data; information can be used to create knowledge; knowledge underlies understanding; understanding leads to wisdom. Someday a driverless car will know the road better than you do and drive with more skill; a deep learning network will diagnose your illness; a personal cognitive assistant will augment your puny human brain. It took nature many millions of years to evolve human intelligence; AI is on a trajectory measured in decades. Sejnowski prepares us for a deep learning future.

Book excerpt: In this combined edition, the author's goal is to help owners of the ROBOTIS ENGINEER Robotics Kits 1 and 2 make the most use out of the hardware and software available to them, by integrating the kits with Single Board Computers (SBC) such as the RPi4B and Jetson Nano. To accommodate a possible broad range of robotics hardware and software skills from readers/users, this book has an unusual format:?Each chapter showcases one robot type, starting with the "SimpleBot with Arms" in Chapter 1 and progressing towards an RPi4B-enhanced Humanoid in Chapter 7. ?Furthermore, within each chapter, the programming tool/environment used also progresses from "simple" like TASK/MOTION and MicroPython on the CM-550 to more "sophisticated" and "enabling" tools such as Standard Python/C++ on Windows PCs and Single Board Computers such as RPi4B and Jetson Nano. In a way, this book is "configurable", whereas a user unfamiliar with C++ or Python can just stay with the TASK "path" from one chapter to the next, while a more experienced programmer would choose a C++ or Python "path" instead. Other users may choose or design their "personal" paths depending on their current skill levels and target goals. The goals of Chapters 1-3 are to establish the foundational robotics concepts and programming techniques using three demonstration robots:oThe "Simple Bot with Arms" is used to illustrate operations of a purely jointed robot.oThe "Pan-Tilt Commando" (PTC) is used to illustrate operations of a mixed-control robot that has some Dynamixels configured in Position Control and others in Velocity Control. oThe "MonoBot" is used with the PTC to explore options in dual-robot control from a Central PC using ROBOTIS Remocon Protocol.The goals of Chapters 4-7 are to broaden and deepen skills developed in previous chapters by integrating with Single Board Computers such as RPi4B and Jetson Nano, and by incorporating advanced hardware (Dynamixel HAT & U2D2) and software (Dynamixel & ZigBee SDKs). These features are implemented on 4 robot types: Enhanced PTC, Quadruped/Articulated 4-Wheel Platform (A4WP), Hexapod (E-SPI), and Humanoid (E-ME2).
