Caution! Student Droidver

[After Gutenberg] Today Sebastian Thrun, the head of the Stanford AI Lab, spoke on the probabilistic (R)evolution in robotics, and he showed several of his robots, culminating with the big one, Stanley, pictured above.

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

[Jcwinnie.biz] After Gutenberg: It seems romantic, it it realistic? Archaeologists, such as Stanford’s Richard Klein, want proof. Surely there should be an archaeological record that something happened 65,000 years ago that resulted in this proposed significant exodus from Africa.

Cbs5.com[Cbs5.com] CBS 5: Local Wire: "This is the first endurance race in history where the machine will have to make all the decisions,'' said Sebastian Thrun, Stanford associate professor of computer science and racing team leader. "We're in this competition as a community that tries to gain knowledge, that tries to make roads safer.''

Punto-informatico.ithttp://punto-informatico.it [Punto-informatico.it] PI: Il rally dei Super SUV robotizzati: Stanley è soltanto uno dei candidati che tenteranno di qualificarsi per questa insolita gara automobilistica, indetta ogni anno dal DARPA. L'importantissimo laboratorio di ricerca alle dipendenze della Difesa statunitense, per certi versi "culla" dell'attuale Internet, selezionerà soltanto i venti migliori veicoli progettati da soggetti pubblici e privati: chi vince conquista un ricchissimo premio di 2 milioni di dollari. Come riporta il New Scientist, l'edizione 2005 del rally dei robot si svolgerà tra i deserti della California a partire dall'8 di ottobre.
