Title: The robot: past, present and future. From the automaton machines to science fiction
Abstract:
Journey through the imaginary of the robot, from its first babblings as a servant of the gods, to its mechanical dazzling in the new technologies of the XXII century and its future conversion into “being”, into an independent entity of its own, in what science calls the ‘singularity’, glimpsing the predictions of science fiction and attending to the promises of science. “Today’s robots have been largely predetermined by their literary ancestors.” (You robot. Antropologia della vita artificiale. Riccardo Notte, 2005).
