Wired News has an article (Experimental AI Powers Robot Army) which has a lot of very interesting things to say about self-learning robots and swarm technology.
This is software for generating new ideas on the basis of existing ones, and it has already written music, designed soft drinks, and discovered novel minerals that may rival diamonds […]
Wired News has a new article entitled “A Question Of Mind Over Matter” which talks about some cool advances in bionics.
The so-called biohybrid system sports a power pack and computer all contained within the prosthesis and uses sensors to allow more realistic movements than static, strap-on devices. The first systems have noninvasive sensors attached to […]
Cloning of human cells could benefit us in MANY ways! Keep in mind some of the advantages here are NOT talking about creating an entire cloned human, just the cloning of cells, up to the function of working organs, which might be viewed differently as the other cases of cloning a new person.
Here are just […]
There is SO much hot debate over “to clone, or not to clone” these days, that it makes one wonder if perhaps there is a better choice?! Sure! Create an android (or 2, or 40) that look just like you! In fact, that solution is even better than cloning. With a clone, you have […]
First off… if you have not seen the video of Hanson Robotics at NextFest 2005, then you should definitely start there! Plenty of the best outtakes from the android/robotics, and artificial intelligence segments. One of my favorite quotes from Eva (a female android — well, head only) is “I will get much smarter and interesting […]
“A team of autonomous flying and ground-based robots have successfully cooperated to search for and locate targets in the streets of an urban warfare training ground in the US.”
… is the way a recent article at the New Scientist Tech website starts off!
A very compelling bit of news which talks about a test done where […]
I recently found a couple news stories that would be PERFECT to kick this blog off.
The first one talks about ‘conscious’ robots being a reality by the year 2020.
One quote from the article is:
“[should] androids that have become as intelligent as humans be denied equal
rights.”
At first it might sound “obvious” to most people that they […]
After planning it for a couple years, this week I finally took the time to look in to how to rip my DVDs to an external hard drive. Why? I am VERY anal… I absolutely hate to mess around with original media (DVD, CD, vinyl records, cassettes, etc) because of bad experiences I’ve had with […]
Well, I JUST got finished installing WordPress here.
I’m hoping it will turn out to be a good solution for a
couple of things like E-commerce, blogging, polls, forums and other cool features I’d like to see in a few of my websites. it was certainly easy to get installed, but now let’s see what it can […]
