Sintesi dell'editore
Robots. The mere word conjures up a bevy of mind-bending images pulled straight from popular science-fiction tales. But robots aren’t just the stuff of entertainment. They’re real. They’re everywhere around you. And they’re transforming your life in ways you can’t imagine. In short, the future of human civilization depends on collaborative robotics: humans and machines working together.
According to robotics expert and award-winning professor John Long of Vassar College, “Robots are what computers and self-propelled vehicles were to the 20th century: a technological revolution that impacts nearly every aspect of our lives, businesses, and security.” Yet for all their seen (and unseen) prevalence, robotics remains mysterious to most of us. How exactly do robots work? What does it take to build a robot that can, for a period of time, perform tasks and make decisions with little human input? What are the most revolutionary robots at work today? How do we balance the technological benefits of robots with the potential risks they pose to pre-existing ways of life?
To answer these and other questions is to take an in-depth journey into an exciting world; a journey Professor Long and The Great Courses present in the 24 incredible lectures of Robotics. Professor Long demystifies the world of robots and provides a comprehensive introduction to these intelligent machines. Whether you’re looking to grasp the hard science of how robots work or simply curious about the implications of robots for society, consider this course your official passport to an astonishing new world.

Pointless as an audio book
The entire book is the audio of a video/live lecture of the professor demonstrating robots and the internal components of those robots and how they all work together. The audio is essentially worthless without the video.

This is just audio stripped from a video.
This is just audio stripped from a video. The presenter repeatedly references visual examples that we can't see.

Really needs the Video
It''s an interesting concept and it has given me ideas for my very basic classes on coding robots to dance where I work. It plays in the background while I'm reading my email. It would have been better if the video was included or this was on iTunesU. For free.

Don't buy - This is the audio from a video
He is constantly saying "as you can see"... it is an audio course... we see nothing. This is useless. Don't make my mistake and think this will be fine, it wasn't. Really wish I could get my audible credit back.

Cannot see anything he is doing
Does not make sense to listen. The service is waste of subscription money. Don’t buy.

Audio only of audiovisual lectures
A large majority of the title was the author talking about videos or other materials that he was showing. Obviously doesn't translate well for an audiobook, but I did still enjoy it. The ability to build mental images of electronics is a must for others who wish to enjoy without the visual aspect.

needs the visuals
seems like a great overview of robotics, but he shows so much to the video audience that it doesn't work well with Audible

Great professor, fix the PDF
The lectures have a visual component and the PDF does not make up for the lack of video. Fix the accompanying PDF and it will do the excellent professor justice. The video demonstrations sound interesting and it is a pity I cannot view them.

Not an audiobook
I really like the great courses series and was excited about this course.
However, these lectures make little sense as an audiobook. The lecturer demonstrates and introduces different robots, takes them apart and shows how they function in practice. You can't see them, of course, so you're left with the audio feed of what's obviously a video.

Not suitable as an audio!
Ridiculous, this should be a video as he constantly refers to what you can't see
