Beskrivning

The Words of Robotics addresses how scientific and technological advancements shape the words and expressions that form the basis of humans’ representations and stories. Focusing on how the movements of robots are perceived and described in everyday language, Céline Pieters highlights both the potential and the challenges of the discourses about robotics, through a rhetorical approach. This approach allows one to go beyond the reductionisms of either overstating the abilities and power of robots or reducing the discourse to a specialized, mere technical language.

Recensioner i media

Through the precise, technical language required to explore how we speak about robots, the book lets the beauty of inspiration and the researcher’s enthusiasm shine through. It evokes the feeling of listening to the late Jean-Paul Laumond reflect in mathematical terms on his own robotics research—deeply rigorous, yet quietly elegant.
