The Future of Robotics - Trends...

Craig Dames

The story of robotics begins long before the first programmable machines. Ancient myths and early mechanical inventions hinted at humanity’s fascination with artificial beings. However, the real journey started during the Industrial Revolution, when mechanized tools began to change how humans worked. These early systems weren’t true robots, but they laid the groundwork for what would come. As electricity, computing, and engineering advanced in the 20th century, robotics emerged as a distinct and rapidly growing field.
The first generation of robots were largely industrial machines—mechanical arms programmed to perform repetitive tasks in factories. Introduced in the 1950s and 60s, these robots revolutionized manufacturing. They worked tirelessly on assembly lines, improving productivity and safety. Though not intelligent by today’s standards, they marked a turning point by taking on tasks traditionally done by human hands. This era showcased the robot as a tool—precise, consistent, and dependable in controlled environments.
The late 20th and early 21st centuries saw major breakthroughs that transformed robotics from rigid machines into adaptive systems. The rise of microprocessors, sensors, and more sophisticated programming enabled robots to interact with their environment. No longer confined to factory floors, they began to appear in fields like space exploration, surgery, and even homes. The introduction of AI brought a fundamental shift. Robots could now learn from data, recognize patterns, and make decisions. This leap allowed them to handle complex, dynamic tasks—like navigating unknown terrain or assisting in delicate operations.

Power to Stop any Illusion of...

August Clarke, J Moss

Are you tired of hearing people constantly complain and moan about a world problem, but offer you no solutions as to what you can do to help resolve this issue? 
This might be from close friends or family constantly taking a negative view on this particular issue, or even from hearing about the problem on the news, but not hearing any potential solutions. 
Can you tell what problem I am talking about yet? Of course, I am talking about manufactured scarcity. 
Anyone who vaguely follows this topic will know that it is consistently increasing in the US, but many don’t know that it is also increasing across most other countries. 
So, what can you and I do to help improve the situation? 
The Power to Stop Any Illusion of Problems will help offer an insight into how these situations occur, in simple and understandable terms, so that you don’t get confused or demotivated by too much technical jargon. 
It will then also show you ways that positive change can be made, rather than just telling you about all the negative impacts of scarcity and making you feel as though all hope is lost. 
You will be amazed at the content included in this book, and the detail that is provided for you to digest. But what really sets this book apart from its competitors is that the information is so well presented and easy to understand.

Shrink the City - The 15-Minute...

Natalie Whittle

Cities define the lives of all those who call them home: where we go, how we get there, how we spend our time. But what if we rethink the ways we plan, live in, and move around our cities? What if we didn't need a car to reach the grocery store? What if we could get back the time we would have spent commuting and put it to other uses? 
 
 
 
In this fascinating, carefully researched and reported book, longtime Financial Times journalist Natalie Whittle investigates the 15-minute city idea—its pros, cons, and its potential to revolutionize modern living. 
 
 
 
From Paris, Melbourne, and Rotterdam to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Tempe, Arizona, cities worldwide are being guided by the 15-minute city's ideals—with varying results. By looking at these examples, Whittle considers: 
 
 
 
● what really happens when a city expands bike lanes and pedestrian areas—and disincentivizes long commutes 
 
 
 
● which approaches to building affordable housing are actually effective 
 
 
 
● how neighborhoods of varying wealth are affected by 15-minute city policies 
 
 
 
This timely book serves as a call to reflect on our cities and neighborhoods—and it outfits us with insights on how to make them more sustainable, safe, and welcoming.
