POPSArtificial Intelligence under the spotlight at BA Festival ‘Computers are now one million times more powerful than when I started my research career – no field has come close to this rate of development,’ he says. ‘If transport had progressed at the same rate we would be flying from London to New York in less than a tenth of second.’

POPSEmotional robots in the spotlight The work is still well shy of an I Robot scenario with emotionally complex machines taking matters into their own hands, but the empathy empowering software being developed by Feelix Growing is a big step forward for robotics. See a short video on the website

POPSAsimov's 30 Laws of Robotics Par 1 (#13-20) Yes I skipped #12. Why? Because I am not a robot and I did not find it very funny nor did #18 so it was skipped too... I REALLY AM TRYING TO CUT DOWN MULTIPLE CLIPS of one posting but it is hard.! Which brings me to: Revenant's Laws (Really Guidelines) to Quasi-Human Behavior 1. The Reaper with the Sickle gets to clip what HE likes, and for that matter in whatever order he likes... 2. He is entitled to change his mind at any time but now. OK now he can, See it is easy. 3. Humans need to lighten up and take things in stride, no one gets out of life alive so there! :P 4. Clips by me are sometimes too long, but never too short so you have that to be thankful for! 5. Donations are in the form of cashier's check made out to cash... Sorry, I get a little silly at times..

POPSAsimov's 30 Laws of Robotics Par 1 (#4-11) If you know Asimov's first Three Laws of Robotics then you either are a scifi fan or a Will Smith Super-Fan (it was a better than average movie and for Will a better than average Will Smith movie which says a lot as I am NOT a Will Smith Super-Fan, He just makes smart movies.) But if you are in the dark about the first 3 laws of robotics here they are: 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. OK Now that we are all on the same web page, enjoy the wonderful witticisms...

POPS Scientists: Humans and machines will merge in future The end result would be a new form of "posthuman" life with beings that possess qualities and skills so exceedingly advanced they no longer can be classified simply as humans. Bostrom declined to predict an exact time frame when this revolutionary biotechnological metamorphosis might occur. "Maybe it will take eight years or 200 years," he said. "It is very hard to predict."

POPSOpensource Robotics: the iCub A European initiative to build an open source robot 'iCub': a robot designed to have the physical and sensory capabilities of a two-and-a-half year old child. Both the hardware and software are open source.

POPSThe future of Mind Control research is showing that the brain can act independently of the body. One day, you could be sitting in an office and controlling a device from across the room—or in another building. And it’s not just flicking a switch. It could be a nanotool that’s moving through a tiny environment, and you can control it and see what it’s seeing.” That kind of extension could lead to new spectrums of scale and force, not to mention new kinds of sensory input altogether. Instead of merely imagining that you’re grasping a nanotool with virtual fingers, you could learn to pilot it like a minuscule spaceship—only with your mind. And if that device had any sensors, you might be able to process the data as though it were a tiny camera.

POPSDo We Think That Machines Can Think? This study is the first ever to investigate the neuronal basics of direct human-robot interaction on a higher cognitive level such as mentalizing. Thus, the researchers expect the results of the study to impact long-lasting psychological and philosophical debates regarding human-machine interactions and especially the question of what causes humans to be perceived as human.

POPS“What is Life?” Evolution of Robots is Causing Scientists to Question “Robots are not human, but humans aren’t the only things that have emotions,” she said. “The question for robots is not, Will they ever have human emotions? Dogs don’t have human emotions, either, but we all agree they have genuine emotions. The question is, what are the emotions that are genuine for the robot?”

POPSModular Robotics Scientists are building a new kind of robots capable of self-assembly and doing tasks too difficult or too dangerous for human beings. These modular robots are also able to deliberately change their shape by rearranging the connectivity of their parts, in order to adapt to new circumstances, perform new tasks, or recover from damage.
