Humankind is now in an age wherein generations of humans have never lived without ubiquitous computing and the internet. This 'AI / IoT generation is creative, innovative and adaptable; however, the relentlessness, complexity, and volume of technological, biotechnological, healthcare, social, cultural, and emotional changes and stressors cause humans many personal, social, and environmental traumas. This book presents a vision for designing and managing the complexity and multidimensionality of the world's emerging technological and ai/robotics-enabled environments that is grounded in current methods for designing human-centred, complex, interactive systems.

This book discusses the coexistence and coevolution of humans and intelligent, adaptive environments during a transformational age during which society is confronting social, environmental, and health crises. Defining the creative strategies needed as 'heroes' of the near future, this book investigates the coexistence/coevolution concept that entails how humans should co-evolve with their 'smart artifact ecologies' by designing dynamic environments that ameliorate technology-induced trauma. In understanding the emerging AI-enabled, Non-Humanoid Social Robotics (NH-SR) and IoT-enabled environments, the reader will develop an understanding of how to design environments for future generations.

Coexistence and Coevolution of Humans and Intelligent, Adaptive Environments is a thoughtful read for graduate students, researchers and academics interested in Architecture, Systems Engineering; Computational/Robotic/Intelligent Architecture; Human Factor Engineering; Robotic Engineering; Mechatronics Engineering; Human-Systems Integration; and Human-AI-Robot Teaming. It equally speaks to social scientists, humanists, futurists, and visionary architects whose work navigates the evolving entanglements of technology, humanity, and design.
