Watch insect robot use static to stick landing
Small drones need to stay aloft to do their jobs—whether it’s searching for dangerous gas leaks or remotely monitoring atmospheric conditions. But the effort can quickly drain battery power. (Article by Jennifer Langston) Now, scientists have created RoboBees, insect-sized flying robots that have a switchable electro-adhesive that allows them to perch on materials such glass, […]

Using wireless interface, operators control multiple drones by thinking of various tasks
A controller wears a skull cap outfitted with 128 electrodes wired to a computer. The device records electrical brain activity. If the controller moves a hand or thinks of something, certain areas light up. (Article by Arizona State University) “I can see that activity from outside,” said Panagiotis Artemiadis (pictured above), director of the Human-Oriented […]

After many years, artificial intelligence is finally here
In 1957, Herbert A. Simon predicted that within 10 years a digital computer would be the world’s chess champion. That didn’t happen until 1996. And despite Marvin Minsky’s 1970 prediction that “in from three to eight years we will have a machine with the general intelligence of an average human being,” we still consider that […]

“Yes, Robots Dream!” –RobERt: Deep Belief Neural Network To Search for Habitable Planets
“Robots really do dream. We can ask RobERt to dream up what he thinks a water spectrum will look like, and he’s proved very accurate,” says Ingo Waldmann of University College London. “This dreaming ability has been very useful when trying to identify features in incomplete data. RobERt can use his dream state to fill […]
