Writing for the second edition completed

We finished writing the second edition of our book and I hope that it will be published this year. We added one new chapter on “How people perceive robots” and we dramatically extended the chapter on how a robot works with the latest developments in artificial intelligence. We also added and updated references, photos of robots and the index. Another important update was the inclusion of teaching material. The book now provides questions and answers that can be used in class.
