Beyond the Robot
Historian Gary Lachman delivers a fascinating, rollicking biography of literary and cultural rebel Colin Wilson, one of the most adventurous, hopeful, and least understood intellects of the past century. You will embark on the intellectual ride of a lifetime in this rediscovery of the life and work of writer, rebel, and social experimenter Colin Wilson (1931-2013). Author of the classic The Outsider, Wilson, across his 118 books, purveyed a philosophy of mind power and human potential that made him one of the least understood and most important voices of the twentieth century. Wilson helped usher in the cultural revolution of the 1960s with his landmark work, The Outsider, published in 1956. The Outsider was an intelligent, meticulous, and unprecedented study of nonconformity in all facets of life. Wilson, finally, became a prolific and unparalleled historian of the occult, providing a generation of readers with a responsible and scholarly entry point to a world of mysteries. Now, acclaimed historian Gary Lachman, a friend of Wilson and a scholar of his work, provides an extraordinary and delightful biography that delves into the life, thought, and evolution of one of the greatest intellectual rebels and underrated visionaries of the twentieth century.
Roboverse: ROS, ROS2 and Beyond A Learning Journey through ROS, ROS2, NVIDIA Omniverse, and Digital Twin Technologies
Over the last few years, robotics has progressed greatly from being a specialized field of study to a key element of modern technology that will boost efficiency and productivity going forward. Robots are becoming more and more important in our daily lives, aiding with everything from industrial automation to service robotics. These days, robots are even used in unmanned vehicles, robotic surgery, computer-aided manufacturing and industrial automation. Robots serve human by performing a wide range of jobs. Robots are becoming self-sufficient and it can work with people in an efficient way because of its improved safety features. Robots can do significant applications using technologies such as Extended Reality, Digital Twin Development, Cloud Platforms, Computer Vision etc. Artificial intelligence and machine learning makes the robot smart and intelligent. The goal of this book is to provide readers with a thorough understanding of robotics, covering everything from its fundamental ideas to modern technologies in an understandable way. This learning journey from ROS1 to ROS2 also includes bridging with various technologies and tools. This book intends to support robotics innovation among students, researchers, robotic enthusiasts, and robotic engineers in the industry.
Robotics
Robotics is a key technology in the modern world. Robots are a well-established part of manufacturing and warehouse automation, assembling cars or washing machines, and, for example, moving goods to and from storage racks for Internet mail order. More recently robots have taken their first steps into homes and hospitals, and seen spectacular success in planetary exploration. Yet, despite these successes, robots have failed to live up to the predictions of the 1950s and 60s, when it was widely thought - by scientists and engineers as well as the public - that by turn of the 21st century we would have intelligent robots as butlers, companions, or co-workers. This Very Short Introduction explains how it is that robotics can be both a success story and a disappointment, how robots can be both ordinary and remarkable, and looks at their important developments in science and their applications to everyday life. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
