Product Description

Product Description

How do you spot a robot mimicking a human? How do you recognise and then deactivate a rebel servant robot? How do you escape a murderous 'smart' house, or evade a swarm of marauding robotic flies? In this dryly hilarious survival guide, roboticist Daniel H. Wilson teaches worried humans the keys to quashing a robot mutiny. From treating laser wounds to fooling face and gait recognition, besting robot logic to engaging in hand-to-pincher combat, How to Survive a Robot Uprising covers every possible doomsday scenario facing the newest endangered species: humans. And with its thorough overview of current robot prototypes - including giant walkers, insect, dog, and snake robots - How to Survive a Robot Uprising is also a witty yet legitimate introduction to contemporary robotics.


About the Author

Daniel H. Wilson is a roboticist at Carnegie-Mellon's Robotics Institute.

4.0 out of 5 stars !, 5 Jan 2006
By A Customer
I found the presentation of this book in both form and content to be first class.

The author borrows from movies and blends with scientific fact to project what robots will be like in the future. It goes on to offer tips on how to evade the various powers of perception robots may have and how to beat them should they go wrong.

The illustations are excellent and add to the hummorious tone of the book.

If your looking for a quick read on your way to work and are willing take the tongue in cheek view of the future presnted, I'd recomend this book

4.0 out of 5 stars A great gift , 23 Jan 2008
By Ms. C. E. Riddell (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I brought this book for my loveable (but somewhat geeky) boyfriend and he loved it. It is a short book, but very funny. Ideal for one of those conspiracy theorist types.
It is well presented, very shiney with the edges of the pages bright red, making it an excellent gift

4.0 out of 5 stars Well prepared to survive the uprising, 13 Jul 2009
By I. Alcock "Scaryrugmonster" (Cumbria, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was bought as a spur of the moment purchase so i wasn't really expecting a great deal from the book. What i got instead was quite a interesting funny read! The author obviously know what hes talking about when it comes to robots and provides lots of great references to current technology and to real working robots, this merely enforces his insane ramblings on the subject.
The book is also split into nice little sections explaining the fundamentals of the robots we could encounter and then elaborating as to how to survive confrontations with them. The art work in the book isn't great but his is just a minor drawback. Another great little touch is all the robot related quotes throughout the book ranging from bender to the terminator.
All in all i enjoyed the book and would suggest if you like robots, you will like this.
