Roboexotica

[Laughing Squid] Roboexotica is the first and, inevitably, leading festival concerned with cocktail robotics. Until recently, no attempts were made to publically discuss the role of cocktail robotics as an index for the integration of technological innovations into the human Lebensraum, or to document the increasing occurrence of radical hedonism in man-machine communication.

I’m an Idiot

[LiftPort Staff Blog] David and I discovered last night that, in the hubbub of cleaning up and disassembling things after the robot demo at the SEDS conference, I forgot to save the output from the robot’s command module. This means that we don’t have a record of what the brain was saying to the base station, which means we can’t be certain that the robot brain was doing multiple hardware reboots (i.e., the cause of it stopping and starting).

Shaking the Tree

[Mr. Chompers] One of the things I love about del.icio.us is that at any given moment, lots of geeks are making their bookmarks public. So, unlike Google, which is a pull technology for finding information, del.icio.us is a push technology, in that members post their bookmarks, tag them, and you can get an aggregate picture of what geeks are into “in the moment” simply by going to the home page.

21st century master & servant

[http://www.apogeevr.com] But no, I am not lazy, and that’s not why the idea of a robotic helper appeals to me. Would a product like this appeal to the lazy and compound the current shiftlessness that plagues a good portion of the population?

Virtually”¦ Everything?

[ Quadza | Business Meets Technology] When they can find an AI smart enough to advocate your law affair (of course there will be problems, but let’s just assume that will go through), in the future they can replace nearly everything. From using AI on robots to replace office boys and using technologies to replace executives.

Robotics, Should We Really Go There?

[Flying Aqua Badger] The notion of Web 2.0 makes me thing more about the future of technology and its sensitivity to humans. Thanks to films like Blade Runner, Terminator, I Robot and The Matrix robotics has found itself a doubting public reception when it comes to researching machine emotions.

Multi-agent Infrastructures for Objective and Subjective Coordination

[marcocioffi.com - Marco Cioffi personal homepage and blog site] First, by taking FIPA agents and coordination artifacts as reference notions for subjective and objective approaches, respectively, we sketch a framework where agent interactions with coordination artifacts are modelled as physical acts, deliberated and executed by agents analogously to communicative actions. Then, we show how the JADE infrastructure for FIPA-compliant agents, and the TuCSoN infrastructure providing agents with coordination artifacts can be integrated at the technology level, allowing JADE agents to access TuCSoN tuple centres through JADE services.
