Messner presents a collection of scholarly essays that together argue that, though military applications, specifically weaponized unmanned aircraft, have received the most media attention, there are many civilian applications for a variety of unmanned vehicles with varying degrees of autonomous functional ability. The text is organized in nine sections, investigating sensors, the current viability of automated driving applications, cargo and freight-hauling applications, agricultural applications, consumer robots in the twenty-first century, landscaping applications, unmanned watercraft, unmanned aircraft in environmental monitoring applications, and issues around privacy. Messner is a faculty member of Tufts University, Massachusetts. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
