教学目标 Course Objectives
本课程通过探讨机器人领域的一系列基础本源的核心话题，籍由技术与人文相结合的视角，来探讨机器人和人工智能的涵
义，与人和生物的区分与联系，以及对社会，经济，文化等多方面的影响。通过提供具体的环境和场景，使学生设身处地
的思考机器人技术的发展和应用可能带来的一系列衍生问题。本课程由三个部分相结合构成，第一部分着重于机器人的历
史与本源特征，第二部分着重于机器人的前沿与技术核心，第三部分着重于机器人的伦理与影响。
This course discusses a series of core subjects in the field of robotics on a fundamental and original level, from the
definition of robots and artificial intelligence, to their similarities and distinctions with humans and animals, and to the
social, economic, and cultural impacts. Students are posed with a concrete scenario, within which the potential impacts
and concerns of the development and application of robotics technology will be discussed. The course comprises of three
segments: 1) history and original characteristics of robotics, 2) frontiers and core technologies of robotics, 3) ethics and
impacts or robots.
