Appendix

Conclusions and Reflections

We have been on quite a journey throughout this book. I’ve learned a lot, and I hope you have as well. I've had the chance to revisit my love of robotics and spend a lot of time examining the state of the art of artificial intelligence (AI) and robot design to try and find a way to explain the concepts to you in an easily digestible form.

In this chapter, we will discuss finishing our robot. I’ll provide you with some advice on careers in AI and robotics. We will also talk a little about the future of AI, at least as I see it, and finish with a discussion about risk.

The following main topics will be covered in this chapter:

Learning when to stop
Careers in robotics
Exploring the current state of AI
Understanding risk in AI
