Informatics artificial “life”

[World Transhumanist Association - Portugal] A branch, already quite developed, of Artificial Life, is Molecular Robotics (8) which is “an emergent and highly interdisciplinary field that looks for producing new materials and devices at the nanometric scale, through the direct interaction with the atomic structures. While conventional Chemistry is based on phenomena involving many individuals, such as Diffusion, to create self-assembling structures, Molecular Robotics consists of devices that manipulate structures by applying external forces and locating atoms and molecules with precision;

Recent trends in robot-assisted therapy environments

[Positive Technology Journal] There is a need to improve functional outcomes after robot-assisted therapy. Improvements in the effectiveness of these environments may be achieved by incorporating into their design and control strategies important elements key to inducing motor learning and cerebral plasticity such as mass-practice, feedback, task-engagement, and complex problem solving.

A New Model Provides A Better Way To Analyze Sound

[ Mad Scientist World News] Humans have 200 million light receptors in their eyes, 10 to 20 million receptors devoted to smell, but only 8,000 dedicated to sound. Yet despite this miniscule number, the auditory system is the fastest of the five senses. Researchers credit this discrepancy to a series of lightning-fast calculations in the brain that translate minimal input into maximal understanding.

Robotic Whiskers Can Sense Three-Dimensional Environment

[Positive Technology Journal] Two Northwestern University engineers have developed an array of robotic whiskers that sense in two dimensions, mimicking the capabilities of mammalian whiskers. The bending moment, or torque, at the whisker base is then used to calculate the three-dimensional features of solid objects.

Technology roundup, 7-31-06

http://centerblue.org [ centerblue.org] I don’t know if it’s just that I’ve just been following technology news more closely lately or if it’s some other reason, but recent news of technological advances seems to be spinning further and further into the realm of science fiction. It seems that a clearer picture of what’s coming in the medium and long term is starting to emerge, and the results seem astonishing to me.

Guide to robot ethics set for publication

[Engadget] Well at least one group of roboticists aren't taking the danger lying down, and next month are set to release the first comprehensive guide to robot ethics since Isaac Hayes Asimov laid down his three famous rules over 60 years ago. Members of the European Robotics Research Network (Euron) have identified five major areas that need to be addressed before intelligent, self-aware bots start rolling off the assembly line -- safety, security, privacy, traceability, and identifiability -- so that humans can both control and keep track of their creations while ensuring that the data they collect is used only for its intended purposes.
