Space Robotics and Autonomous Systems (ebook) by Yang Gao (Editor)
Space robotics and autonomous systems (Space RAS) play a critical role in the current and future development of mission-defined machines that can survive in space while performing exploration, assembly, construction, maintenance and servicing tasks. Space RAS covers all types of robotics for the exploration of planet surfaces as well as robotics used in orbit around the Earth and the sensors needed by the platform for navigation or control.

Robotic Process Animation
In this video, Professor Juanes explains the pros and cons of using robot process automation, discussing best cases for their use and highlighting the risk and opportunities of using RPAs.
Retail Robots
Cube-shaped robots zip back and forth across a steel grid, each carrying groceries to where they're needed in the floors below
Why We Need to Build Robots We Can Trust
The algorithms we've created to make our lives more organized and less chaotic are also learning from our behavior -- and our biases. Roboticist Ayanna Howard explores ways we can train our tech to be fairer than us, asking: How can we be more accountable in our relationships with robots?
Origami robots that reshape and transform themselves
Taking design cues from origami, robotician Jamie Paik and her team created "robogamis": folding robots made out super-thin materials that can reshape and transform themselves. In this talk and tech demo, Paik shows how robogamis could adapt to achieve a variety of tasks on earth (or in space) and demonstrates how they roll, jump, catapult like a slingshot and even pulse like a beating heart.
Flash Wars: Autonomous Weapons, AI and the Future of Warfare
At the threshold of a dramatic escalation in new warfare technologies, Flash Wars takes an international perspective on the disturbing rise of lethal autonomous weapons
