The role of robots in society keeps expanding and diversifying, bringing with it a host of issues surrounding the relationship between robots and humans. This introduction to human-robot interaction (HRI) by leading researchers in this developing field is the first to provide a broad overview of the multidisciplinary topics central to modern HRI research. Written for students and researchers from robotics, artificial intelligence, psychology, sociology, and design, it presents the basics of how robots work, how to design them, and how to evaluate their performance. Self-contained chapters discuss a wide range of topics, including speech and language, nonverbal communication, and processing emotions, plus an array of applications and the ethical issues surrounding them. This revised and expanded second edition includes a new chapter on how people perceive robots, coverage of recent developments in robotic hardware, software, and artificial intelligence, and exercises for readers to test their knowledge.

Mensch oder Maschine? Utopie oder Dystopie? Ersatz oder Ergänzung? Als neuartiges Produkt der Sextech-Branche entfachen Sexroboter sowohl in der Gesellschaft als auch in Wissenschaft und Medien gegenwärtig ganz konträre Gedanken und Gefühle. Noch ist die Verbreitung von Sexrobotern vermutlich sehr gering - die Spekulationen hingegen laufen auf Hochtouren und die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema hat vielfältige Zukunftsszenarien und Standpunkte hervorgebracht. Matyjas verschafft Lesenden einen Einblick in eine neuartige, zukunftsorientierte Entwicklung der immer größer und gesellschaftsfähiger werdenden Sextech-Branche. Sie gibt einen Überblick über die wissenschaftliche wie medial-öffentliche Verhandlung von Sexrobotern und über Befunde bisheriger internationaler Forschung. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Ergebnisse einer Befragung mit über 4.000 Adult-Dating-Nutzer*innen zu diversen Aspekten von Sexrobotern. Anhand der umfassenden Befunde dieser empirischen Studie hinterfragt und erweitert die Autorin das gegenwärtig vorherrschende Bild von Sexrobotern, Robotersex und den zukünftigen Nutzer*innen.

ROBOCOMM is the First International Conference on Robot Communication and Coordination. As the name suggests, it aims at the convergence of two fields, acting as a common forum for the Robotics and Communications research communities. The expected outcome of the event is the cross-fertilization of these two areas leading to growth in the capabilities of both. Robotics is an interdisciplinary field that requires a number of competencies including mechanics, control theory, electronics and communications. Initially the first three areas dominated in their roles. However, in the last two decades we have witnessed the unprecedented growth of wireless communication technologies, with increasing attention given to sensor networks and ad-hoc networks, enlarging the possible configurations of a network. Meanwhile, building more than just one or two robots at a time has become cheaper and more common, thus opening a whole new range of applications for multi-robot systems with networking capabilities. Network robotics offers a framework to study coordination mechanisms for complex systems through communication channels, thus providing a natural common ground for the convergence of information processing, communication theory and control theory. Networked robotics poses significant challenges, requiring the integration of communication theory, software engineering, distributed sensing and control into a common framework. Furthermore, robots are unique in that their motion and tasking control systems are co-located with the communications mechanisms. This allows the co-exploitation of individual subsystems to provide completely new kinds of networked or distributed autonomy. ROBOCOMM aims to be the leading-edge conference where prominent researchers with different backgrounds will gather and merge different ideas into a common framework that will enable new applications based on large scale networks of mobile robots. This first conference attracted some 90 submissions, of which 42 have been selected for full paper presentation and a further 24 for poster presentation. The selection relied on the efforts of four technical program chairs leading a strong technical program committee which reviewed all papers. The high standard of reviewing and the diverse set of submissions have created a program of excellent contributions that cover the broad scope of this new convergent research field. The program includes nine sessions focused on Mobility for Communications; Localization and Tracking; Decentralized Coordination; Control Architectures; Networked Sensing; Reconfigurable Networks; Decentralized Decision Making; Applications and Devices, and Tools and Simulators. We are delighted also to have keynote talks from Prof Raffaello D'Andrea, Professor of Automatic Control at ETH Zurich and Dr Gerard McKee, head of the Active Robotics Laboratory, Reading University, UK. These keynotes will both focus on networked robots, in automated order fulfillment (a 'killer application') and in space robotics, respectively.
