Our Robots, Ourselves by David A. Mindell
Robotics and the Myths of Autonomy
Challenges the myth of fully autonomous robots by showing that effective systems are human–machine partnerships in which people set goals, manage risk, and interpret outcomes. Drawing on case studies from aviation, space exploration, undersea operations, and military drones, it maps a spectrum of autonomy and explains how design choices in control, feedback, and context shape performance. It offers practical guidance for building technologies that keep humans meaningfully in the loop while addressing safety, ethics, and responsibility.
