Future Robots : Towards a robotic science of human beings Hardback
by Domenico (Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies, National Research Council, Rome) Parisi
Part of the Advances in Interaction Studies series

Description
This book is for both robot builders and scientists who study human behaviour and human societies.
Scientists do not only collect empirical data but they also formulate theories to explain the data.
Theories of human behaviour and human societies are traditionally expressed in words but, today, with the advent of the computer they can also be expressed by constructing computer-based artefacts.
If the artefacts do what human beings do, the theory/blueprint that has been used to construct the artefacts explains human behaviour and human societies.
Since human beings are primarily bodies, the artefacts must be robots, and human robots must progressively reproduce all we know about human beings and their societies. And, although they are purely scientific tools, they can have one very important practical application: helping human beings to better understand the many difficult problems they face today and will face in the future - and, perhaps, to find solutions for these problems.
