Blurb

What happens when machines no longer wait for our commands, but begin to choose for themselves?

Agentic AI and the Future of Robotics explores one of the most profound shifts in human history - the rise of intelligent machines that act with agency. Unlike traditional automation, agentic AI perceives, plans, and decides, reshaping what it means to work, to govern, and to live alongside robots that do more than follow instructions.

This book journeys from the origins of human tool-making to the cutting edge of robotics, weaving together stories of innovation, ethical dilemmas, and global power struggles. It asks urgent questions: How do we trust machines that act independently? Who is responsible when they err? And how can we design a future where autonomy in robots strengthens rather than diminishes human values?

Written in clear, compelling prose for students, educators, and curious readers, this book is both a guide and a provocation. It challenges us to imagine a world where humans and machines share agency - and to decide what kind of civilization we wish to build.
