58183) ROBOTS facts fiction + prediction , Jasia Reichardt , Thames and Hudson London 1978 ,
Here, in a spectacular panorama from time past, present and to come, is the extraordinary story of man- made forms of `life`. From the moving toys of the ancient world to the invention of the robot itself in the 1920s, from the fantastic mechanized creatures of the cinema screens to amazing robot systems exploring space, manufacturing themselves and teaching future generations, this is the complète illustrated guide to robots throughout the cosmos. In art and literature, in the classroom and the home, in factory, hospital and battlefield, robots have stretched man`s powers of imagination and ingenuity; but their increasingly significant role in human affairs poses insistent questions. What happens if man cannot control his own creation? Is one of our most ambitious achievements waiting for an opportunity to install itself in our place? Jasia Reichardt`s answers to these and other issues provide delight, excitement-and perhaps shock-for us all.
With 280 illustrations, 12 in colour.
