From the Publisher:
foreword by Michael Arbib
"Hard to put down and necessary to know -- Arkin's book provides a comprehensive intellectual history of robots and a thorough compilation of robotic organizational paradigms from reflexes through social interaction."
-- Chris Brown, Professor of Computer Science, University of Rochester This introduction to the principles, design, and practice of intelligent behavior-based autonomous robotic systems is the first true survey of this robotics field. The author presents the tools and techniques central to the development of this class of systems in a clear and thorough manner. Following a discussion of the relevant biological and psychological models of behavior, he covers the use of knowledge and learning in autonomous robots, behavior-based and hybrid robot architectures, modular perception, robot colonies, and future trends in robot intelligence.
The text throughout refers to actual implemented robots and includes many pictures and descriptions of hardware, making it clear that these are not abstract simulations, but real machines capable of perception, cognition, and action.read more

Experimental quantum teleportation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrated the feasibility of quantum teleportation over arbitrary distances of the state of a quantum system by using a measurement such that the second photon of the entangled pair acquires the polarization of the initial photon.

Schrödinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality
TL;DR: In this paper, Gribbin presents the recent dramatic improvements in experimental techniques that have enabled physicists to formulate and test new theories about the nature of light, and describes these theories not in terms of hard-to-imagine entities like spinning subnuclear particles, but in the fate of two small cats, separated at a tender age and carried to opposite ends of the universe.
