The reader will discover how industrial, occupational, and assistive robots have transitioned from being manufacturing tools to becoming indispensable companions in the home, healthcare, and the care of the elderly and children. The work combines a clear explanation of technological principles with an analysis of legal and ethical aspects, including the concept of \"electronic personhood.\" An epilogue by Dr. Concha Germán Bes provides a critical perspective on robot-assisted therapy in the healthcare field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book traces the evolution of robotics from its historical precursors, such as Archimedes' lever and Watt's steam engine, to the industrial revolution of the 20th century, when articulated mechanical arms began to complement and replace human labor in factories. From there, the work describes the development of three major branches: industrial, occupational, and assistive robotics (known as social robotics). It details the utilities, features, and technological principles that allow current robots to compete in strength, skill, and memory with their creators. The author presents a broad catalog of human-like robots, humanoids, and robotic pets, explaining how artificial intelligence and sophisticated mechanics enable them to assist humans in difficult tasks. Legal challenges and the need to regulate the \"electronic person\" identity to establish liability for damages to third parties are also addressed. The work concludes with a critical epilogue on robot-assisted therapy for physical and mental conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical evolution of robotics: from early mechanisms to artificial intelligence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIndustrial, occupational, and assistive robotics: differences, applications, and technological principles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHumanoids and robotic pets: design, mechanics, and capabilities for interacting with humans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSocial impact of robotics: assistance to the elderly, children, and patients in the healthcare sector.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLegal and ethical aspects: regulation of \"electronic personhood\" and liability for damages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRobot-assisted therapy: critical analysis of its application in physical and mental conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and professionals in electronic engineering, robotics, and telecommunications, as well as anyone interested in understanding the current and future role of robots in daily life.
