Robots Could Replace Teachers - (USA)
LiveScience | Jul 16, 2009 By Robin Lloyd In the future, more and more of us will learn from social robots, especially kids learning pre-school skills and students of all ages studying a new language. This is just one of the scenarios sketched in a review essay that looks at a “new science of learning,” which brings together recent findings from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, machine learning and education. The essay, published in the July 17 issue of the journal Science, o

Cory Doctorow’s Makers, Part 14 (of 81) - (USA)
Illustration by Idiots’Books Perry’s funny eyebrow twitched as he counted out the day’s take. This gig was all cream, all profit. His overheads amounted to a couple hundred a month to Jason and his crew to help with the robot and machinery maintenance in the Wal-Mart, half that to some of the shantytown girls to dust and sweep after closing, and a retainer to a bangbanger pack that ran security at the ride and in the market. Plus he got the market-stall rents, and so when the day was over

Who’s Afraid of Smart Machines? - (USA)
On top of the discussion about robo-ethicists wanting to revisit Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics I saw several pointers to a New York Times article called Scientists Worry Machines May Outsmart Man . Will we have thinking machines that are self-aware and smarter than humans? One of the famous papers on this is The Coming Technological Singularity: How to Survive in the Post-Human Era by Vernor Vinge. Vinge postulates that by the year 2030 we will see “the imminent creation by technology of en

Brain science - (USA)
Most famous for his work with Palm where he took part in creating the first handheld computers, Jeff Hawkins has recently got himself into neuroscience.In a TEDTalks video urges us to take a new look at the brain — to see it not as a fast processor, but as a memory system that stores and plays back experiences to help us predict, intelligently, what will happen next.Why we don’t have a good brain theory.What it’s important.What we can do about it.Hawkins argues that what’s lacking is a theoretic

A Few Arguments for Humanistic Fabrication - (USA)
By hooking a computer up to a machine that can add, remove, cut or fuse material, it is possible to turn a digital representation into a physical object. Most historians (at least ones reading this blog) are probably familiar with the idea of digitization; think of this as 'materialization', a reversal of the process. The humble printer is a kind of materializer for two-dimensional text and images. These other machines (often referred to as rapid prototyping or computer-aided manufacturing ma

Do Mars Landers Dream of Electric Sheep? - (USA)
In a much-parodied scene from the 1968 science fiction classic film 2001 a Space Odyssey, a Jupiter-bound astronaut shuts down the “higher brain functions” of the spacecraft’s supercomputer, the HAL 9000. In the scene the homicidal computer sings the 1892 melody Daisy Daisy before it goes comatose. In the real world the demise of an autonomous robot space explorer is much less melodramatic, and sometimes much slower. This past week NASA’s Mars Phoenix Lander sensed that it was going into t

Be careful: Terminators might cook you! - (USA)
Quick, without conversation and without errors. It would be nice to be hungry and be well served by a chef. In Nagoya , Japan, this is already happening in a restaurant whose food is prepared and served by a pair of robots built specifically for this purpose. In the restaurant FUA-Men – Fully Automated Ramen – you can make requests via a touch screen directly to robots that prepare lámen in minutes (traditional Japanese food ). The robots of the restaurant do not seem in any way with

A High-Five For High-K Reinvented Transistors - (USA)
Today marks a major milestone: the one-year anniversary of shipping the world’s first ever Intel processors manufactured on our 45 nanometer process—based on an entirely new ‘high-k metal gate’ transistor formula. And what a year it has been for this manufacturing and uniquely-flavored transistor combo Intel’s transistor formula infuses the element Hafnium with Silicon and other ingredients to reduce the electricity leakage that comes from the tens of millions of transistors inside our pro
