Description

“Hello, Robot. Design between Human and Machine” investigates how robotics has become an integral part of our everyday lives. As these intelligent machines emerge from their hidey-holes in washing machines, cars, and ATMs, we are getting used to encountering them almost everywhere: in industry, in the military, and in everyday settings; in our bodies and in the cloud;… and, of course, in films and in literature. The book also shows that design in its traditional function as a mediator is indispensable for robots to participate in our day-to-day activities. In a series of in-depth essays and interviews, experts including science-fiction author Bruce Sterling and the design duo Dunne & Raby explore what an increasingly digital environment means for us humans.
