Robots
Phil Husbands introduces the field of robotics, where it has come from, and where it might go in the future. Explaining the technology underlying robots and their capabilities today, he also considers both the ethical problems of robots with increasing intelligence, and the wider socio-political challenges they create.
Robots
A concise, accessible introduction to robots, what they can do, what they can't, and what their increasing encroachment into our lives might mean for us. Since the turn of the millennium a quiet revolution has been underway. Millions of autonomous robots with some level of intelligence are now in domestic use, mainly as vacuum cleaners. Driverless cars - which are nothing less than autonomous robots - are starting to appear on our streets. There is a huge effort underway in industry and universities to develop the next generation of more intelligent, autonomous, mobile robots. Accompanying these arrivals has been a steady stream of inflammatory articles in the media raising concerns over the...
Habits of Heroic Husbands
Men: If your wife were asked to rank your marriage on a 1-10 scale, what would she give it? Did you know that on average she will rank it 3 points lower than whatever you would give it? If you want to move from wherever you are... to where you could be...try this...
The Horizons of Evolutionary Robotics
An authoritative overview of current research in this exciting interdisciplinary field.
Losing My Husbands
After the death of two husbands, forty years apart, the author details the personal grief she experienced following these life-altering events. Even though they occurred at different stages of her life, the overwhelming and devastating losses were the same. The book defines the struggles that she faced as she grieved; her attempts to overcome, or at least manage, the grief; how humor can be useful to help move past the pain of such a horrific loss; and her struggles to make a life for herself without her spouse. Even though the primary focus of this book is to offer support, understanding, and hope to those who have lost their spouse, this book can also be helpful to those who are grieving any type of loss. In addition, this book can be a valuable resource for all married couples in preparation for surviving this unavoidable journey. And finally, it provides valuable insights to those having to watch another who is grieving.
Advances in Artificial Life
This volume contains 71 revised refereed papers, including seven invited surveys, presented during the Third European Conference on Artificial Life, ECAL '95, held in Granada, Spain in June 1995. Originally AL was concerned with applying biologically inspired solutions to technology and with examining computational expertise in order to reproduce and understand life processes. Despite its short history, AL now is becoming a mature scientific field. The volume reports the state of the art in this exciting area of research; there are sections on foundations and epistemology, origins of life and evolution, adaptive and cognitive systems, artificial worlds, robotics and emulation of animal behavior, societies and collective behavior, biocomputing, and applications and common tools.
Fourth European Conference on Artificial Life
Topics include self-organization, the origins of life, natural selection, evolutionary computation, neural networks, communication, artificial worlds, software agents, philosophical issues in artificial life, ethical problems, and learning and development. Researchers in artificial life attempt to use the physical representation of lifelike phenomena to understand the organizational principles underlying the dynamics of living systems. The goal of the 1997 European Conference on Artificial Life is to provoke new understandings of the relationships between the natural and the artificial. Topics include self-organization, the origins of life, natural selection, evolutionary computation, neural networks, communication, artificial worlds, software agents, philosophical issues in artificial life, ethical problems, and learning and development.

Artificial Life 8
How high-level behaviors arise from low-level rules, and how understanding this relationship can suggest novel solutions to complex real-world problems such as disease prevention, stock-market prediction, and data mining on the Internet. The term "artificial life" describes research into synthetic systems that possess some of the essential properties of life. This interdisciplinary field includes biologists, computer scientists, physicists, chemists, geneticists, and others. Artificial life may be viewed as an attempt to understand high-level behavior from low-level rules -- for example, how the simple interactions between ants and their environment lead to complex trail-following behavior. An understanding of such relationships in particular systems can suggest novel solutions to complex real-world problems such as disease prevention, stock-market prediction, and data mining on the Internet. Since their inception in 1987, the Artificial Life meetings have grown from small workshops to truly international conferences, reflecting the field's increasing appeal to researchers in all areas of science.
