Andreas Müller-Pohle: Robots. A Speculative Compendium

Robots are the bodies of artificial intelligence. They learn by interacting with the real world, perfecting themselves through experience. One day they will reproduce themselves – and maybe even surpass us. This book presents 55 fictional robot types imagined by AI: humanoid and non-humanoid beings, each with a concise description of their capabilities. A compendium of imagined techno-entities – plausible and fantastical, instrumental and romantic, ironic and dystopian. While predictions about when robots might outnumber humans remain uncertain, one thing is clear: the future is robotic. – Andreas Müller-Pohle: Robots. A Speculative Compendium.
