Sources for current robot capabilities This book describes what we can expect in terms of robot advances over the next two decades, particularly in the area of human-interactive robots. We provide an in-depth look at how American consumers will react to this dramatic social, economic, and marketplace revolution.Our insights come from national surveys we conducted with over 2,700 Americans, as well as a thorough review of existing academic research and expert predictions. We provide suggestions for acceptable robot roles, robot design, and the optimal marketplace approaches to successful human-robot interactions and, yes, even successful human-robot bonding. This book provides valuable insights for robot manufacturers, companies considering using robots in consumer-facing roles and for consumers themselves who will be increasingly interacting with robots in their everyday lives. If you want to understand our future, you need to understand robots
