Breazeal defines the key components of social intelligence for these machines and offers a framework and set of design issues for their realization. Much of the book focuses on a nascent sociable robot she designed named Kismet. Breazeal offers a concrete implementation for Kismet, incorporating insights from the scientific study of animals and people, as well as from artistic disciplines such as classical animation. This blending of science, engineering, and art creates a lifelike quality that encourages people to treat Kismet as a social creature rather than just a machine. The book includes a CD-ROM that shows Kismet in action.
Dr. Breazeal [writes] about her adventures as a modern-day Mary Shelley.
—Claudia Dreifus, The New York Times—Magisterial.
—Peter Skinner, Foreword—...an entertaining book... thought-provoking and likely to hold many pointers to the future. Alex M. Andrew Robotica
