مقدمة عامة عن علم الروبوتات
•    Maja Matarić: The Robotics Primer, MIT Press, 2007.
This book is a highly engaging and accessible semi-technical introduction to robotics, spanning all of the important concepts and applications.
•    Roland Siegwart, Illah R.
Nourbakhsh, and Davide Scaramuzza: Introduction to Autonomous Mobile Robots, MIT Press, 2011.
This is a comprehensive textbook on mobile robotics, ideal for anyone who wishes to understand robot motion, perception, and localization in greater technical depth.
الفصل الأول: ما الروبوت؟
•    Mark Elling Roshiem: Leonardo’s Lost Robots, Springer, 2006.This beautifully illustrated book tells the extraordinary story of the reconstruction of Leonardo da Vinci’s robots, including his programmable cart.
•    Philip Husbands, Owen Holland, and Michael Wheeler (eds): The Mechanical Mind in History, MIT Press, 2008.
This is a fascinating and important account of the pioneers of intelligent machines, their work and ideas.
It tells the story of how key ideas of bio-inspiration, which I introduce in Chapter 3, were conceived by the mid 20th-century pioneers of cybernetics.
الفصل الثالث: الروبوتات الحيوية
•    Valentino Braitenberg: Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology, MIT Press, 1984.
A delightful book; the ‘experiments’ of the title are thought experiments of hypothetical autonomous vehicles.

This book provides a thorough and philosophically sound exploration of how we might build future ethical robots.
حاشية عن القسم الخاص بأخلاقيات الروبوتات
•    The set of five ethical principles for robotics outlined in this section were drafted by a joint Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPSRC) and Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) working group on robot ethics, in 2010.
The full report from that working group can be found at: http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/ourportfolio/themes/engineering/activities/Pages/principlesofrobotics.aspx
الفصل الخامس: أسراب الروبوتات، والتطور، والتكافل
•    Eric Bonabeau and Guy Théraulaz: Swarm smarts, Scientific American, March 2000.
A very readable review of swarm intelligence.

For an up-to-date review of research in pill-sized medical robots.
•    K. Eric Drexler: Engines of Creation: the Coming Era of Nanotechnology, Oxford University Press, 1990.
Now regarded as a classic, this is a highly readable exploration of how nano-machines might be built and applied.
مصادر إضافية أخرى للقراءة
•    Dario Floreano and Claudio Mattiussi: Bio-inspired Artificial Intelligence, MIT Press, 2008.
A substantial textbook, but also a readable and comprehensive introduction to bio-inspired approaches to artificial intelligence and robotics; for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of these important new approaches this book is a must.
•    Rolf Pfeifer and Josh Bongard: How the Body Shapes the Way We Think: A New View of Intelligence, MIT Press, 2006.
This clear and thoughtful book sets out the case for ‘embodiment’: that intelligence, in animals and robots, always requires a body.
Its conclusions go well beyond robotics.
