خودکارسازی و رباتیک همکاری: راهنمایی برای آینده کار

Understand the current and future research into technologies that underpin the increasing capabilities of automation technologies and their impact on the working world of the future. Rapid advances in automation and robotics technologies are often reported in the trade and general media, often relying on scary headlines such as “Jobs Lost to Robots.” It is certainly true that work will change with the advent of smarter and faster automated workers; however, the scope and scale of the changes is still unknown. Automation may seem to be here already, but we are only at the early stages. __**Automation and Collaborative Robotics**__ explores the output of current research projects that are improving the building blocks of an automated world. Research into collaborative robotics (cobotics) is merging digital, audio, and visual data to generate a commonly held view between cobots and their human collaborators. Low-power machine learning at the edge of the network can deliver decision making on cobots or to their manipulations. Topics covered in this book include: * Robotic process automation, chatbots, and their impact in the near future * The hype of automation and headlines leading to concerns over the future of work * Component technologies that are still in the research labs * Foundational technologies and collaboration that will enable many tasks to be automated with human workers being re-skilled and displaced rather than replaced **What You Will Learn** * Be aware of the technologies currently being researched to improve or deliver automation * Understand the impact of robotics, other automation technologies, and the impact of AI on automation * Get an idea of how far we are from implementation of an automated future * Know what work will look like in the future with the deployment of these technologies **Who This Book Is For** Technical and business managers interested in the future of automation and robotics, and the impact it will have on their organizations, customers, and the business world in general Table of Contents 5 About the Authors 9 About the Technical Reviewer 11 Acknowledgments 12 Introduction: Toward Utopia,but Slowly 14 Part I: Preparing for the Future of Work 22 Chapter 1: Will Robots Replace You? 23 Impact of Robotics on Work 25 Resistance to the Industrial Age 27 The Information Age 29 RPA and AI Are Already Transforming Work 32 The Robotics Age 33 Living with Robots 36 Working Through Semi-autonomous Robotic Devices 39 Working for Intelligent Robots: Embodied Nonbiological Intelligence 42 Working with and Alongside Robots: Evolving a Networked Society 49 Summary and Conclusion 61 Chapter 2: Technology Definitions 65 Definitions 66 Artificial Intelligence (AI) 66 Neural Networks 68 Machine Learning/Deep Learning 69 Reinforcement Learning 70 Robot 71 Collaborative Robot (Cobot) 71 Automation 72 Rules That Don’t Work, Bots, and Chatbots 74 Robots, Collaboration, and Collaborative Robots 76 Smart Buildings As Robots Without Arms 80 Research Progress 81 Data Fusion 81 Real-World Common Models 83 Project ENACT 83 Collaboration and Policy 84 Summary and Conclusion 86 Part II: Robots Are Working 88 Chapter 3: Robotic Process Automation 89 Increasing the Automation of Business Processes 95 Process Management, Selection, and Optimization 101 RPA Implementations 105 RPA: Advantages, Challenges, and Caveats 110 Intelligent Automation, Bots, and Chatbots 114 Summary and Conclusion 123 Chapter 4: Robots in Teams 126 An Introduction to Cobots 127 Cobots in Complex Environments 128 Search-and-Rescue 131 Surgery 133 Warehouses 136 Working Alongside Humans 137 Levels of Automation and Collaboration 138 Teamwork: From Conversational Interfaces to Physical Cobots 144 Conflicts and Trust 149 Guidelines for Designing a Cobot 152 Summary and Conclusion 156 Chapter 5: Robots Without Arms 158 Smart Buildings 160 Benefits of Smart Buildings 161 Improving Building Efficiency 162 Lighting 162 Air Quality 164 Temperature and Humidity 168 Occupant Efficiency 168 Increased Productivity 169 Resource Management 170 Smart Building Example 172 Autonomous Vehicles 175 Challenges and Triumphs 178 Impact on Society 180 Private Vehicles 182 Commercial Vehicles 184 Summary and Conclusion 186 Part III: Making Sense for Robots and Society 190 Chapter 6: Robots in a World of Data 191 Data Fusion Definitions 193 Humans: The Data Fusion Mavens 195 First Steps in Data Fusion: Structured Digital Data 196 Infrastructure Complexity Drives Data Fusion 200 Architectures and Their Impact on Collaborative Robotics 202 Data Fusion Challenges for Collaborative Robots 206 Problem Space 206 Examples of Data Fusion Challenges 209 Example 1 210 Example 2 210 Potential Solutions 211 Impact on Collaborative Robotics 215 Supporting Research Projects 216 ENACT 216 CVDI Co-Botics Project 219 Summary and Conclusion 223 Chapter 7: Robots in Society 226 What Can Go Wrong? 227 Can Robots Be Ethical and Self-Regulating? 230 Legal Remedies 234 Are Robots Exceptional? 237 Can a Robot Be Biased? 241 Who Is Responsible? 242 Robots in Corporations, Corporations in Robots 245 Privacy by Design 246 Ethics by Design 247 Design Representative of Diversity 252 Accountability, Explainability, and Transparency 253 Governance 257 Safety 259 Social Impact and Well-Being 261 Summary and Conclusion 262 Chapter 8: Work in the Future 264 The Transformation of Work 268 Artificial Unintelligence 269 Working with Automation and Robots 273 Final Thought 276 Index 277 Front Matter ....Pages i-xxii Front Matter ....Pages 1-1 Will Robots Replace You?
