The world is changing at an ever-increasing pace. Most of us have accepted the idea that the World Wide Web is now an important part of life and here to stay. But where will technology take us next? What is on the horizon? This book introduces the reader to recent advances in robotics. The author Rodney A. Brooks has seen the future: robots will not take over the human race; flesh will instead merge with machine. This is already happening, and this work reveals how.
