"…the book offers detailed knowledge on major issues to benefit both health and social care workers and those who are simply interested in the subject, and it does so in a clear and rational way. The message of Transcultural Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in Health and Social Care is driven by hope and a resolve that AI and SARs in health and social care might make our lives better. As such, I have no hesitation in recommending this book, which is insightful, clear, and useful. Hence, I give potential readers a very high recommendation as the book is accessible and clarifying, and it will be useful to researchers and students alike, both in college and graduate classrooms. The book’s pragmatic approach makes a valuable contribution to several fields—anthropology, sociology, nursing, and robotics—and also provides useful insights for policy makers working in health-related fields." --Anne Aronsson, Department of Anthropology, Yale, CT, USA
Transcultural Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in Health and Social Care provides healthcare professionals with a deeper understanding of the incredible opportunities brought by the emerging field of AI robotics. In addition, it provides robotic researchers with the point-of-view of healthcare professionals to understand what the healthcare sector – as well as the market – really needs from robotics technology. By doing so, the book fills an important gap between both fields in order to leverage new developments and collaborative work in favor of global patients. The book is aimed at the non-technical reader, especially health and social care professionals, and explains in a simple way the technological principles applied in the development of socially assistive humanoid AI robots (SAHR), the values which guide such developments, the ethics related to them, and research approaches in the field, with a focus on achieving a culturally competent SAHR.
