· **Advances in Human Robot Interaction**
 * I have discussed the advantages of my book based on a comparative study of 3 books similar to my area of study to demonstrate more clearly the new items that my book has studied.**

The //Advances in Human Robot Interaction// book is a collection of research and studies on human robot interactions, mostly the basic studies. This book did not study the advanced studies on the new potential functions that robots can have. One of these functions could be their psychiatric roles, which this book has not reviewed it. So my book by reviewing the latest studies on the psychological functions of robots and analyzing the empirical research, which I have done in two psychiatric clinics in USA and Japan, will give the readers a new look toward the psychiatric functions of advanced technologies. The //advances in human robot interactions// are just reviewing the key issues of human –robot interactions in areas, such as perception, planning and controls. My book not only will summarize these key issues but also will demonstrate a comprehensive and deep analysis of potential functions of robots. My book is guidance for robotic engineers to design and programs robots based on the needs of costumers so my book proves how robots can serve people not only based on their personal and everyday life but also for their medical needs.

· **Beyond AI: Creating the Conscience of the Machine** One of the main advantages of my book is its comparative analysis of social robotic studies in two developed countries, USA and Japan. My book has announced the results of two empirical research done in both countries 1) to monitor the interactions of robots and humans, 2) to study how robots can have psychiatric functions 3) to emphasize that robotic engineers can design and program robots based on client’s desires and 4) to prove that making anthropomorphic robots and making them more similar to the characteristic of human beings can influence the degree of human robot interactions. In the //Beyond AI: Creating Conscience of the Machine//, the author talks about computers that are designed to drive cars or play soccer. The author hopes that soon computers can read a newspaper with understanding or write a news story or create novels. He talks about computers and their potential capabilities; whereas my book talks about the same potential capabilities that anthropomorphic robots can have. · **Surviving Schizophrenia: A Manual for Families, Patients, and Providers** This book is a manual for families, patents and health care providers how to treat with schizophrenic people, about the causes, symptoms, treatment methods and how to live with individuals with schizophrenic people. My book in comparison with this book and similar ones, shows that how new technologies can be best assistants for families, patients and providers to help having a better treatment with individuals with schizophrenia and also how these patients can use advanced technologies to help them recover their social and communication networks that have been distorted because of their mental illness. This goals have been substantiate by1) reviewing previous studies,2) doing deep interviews by professional both with robotic engineers and psychiatric professionals and 3) by doing an empirical research of the interactions of humanoid robots and individuals with schizophrenia.
