  • BabyBot

    picked up from slashdot

    Created by roboticists from Italy, France and Switzerland, "Babybot" automatically experiments with objects nearby and learns how best to make use of them. This gives the robot an ability to develop motor skills in the same way as a human infant.

      Actually I am thinking more about how adaptive inteligence could help things like the mars rovers etc.
      'oops i've lost a wheel, now, whats the best way to get over there with a broken leg...' type stuff.

        And what use have humans now? We can't be "obsolete" because we aren't tools.

            if so than the adaptive things is apt since we seem to be pretty broken. Broken by design?

                "Broken by Design", that one is even better than Object-Disoriented Programming!

                Thx.

                  I know that and you know that, but what's important is: do CEOs know that?

                    I know some people who are tools. Carson Daly of ex-MTV fame, he's a big tool.

                    I don't know if you guys have that slang over in your parts.

                    Several years ago the guy who created the game Creatures, made a little baby robot that learned. Don't remember what ever happend to that, but it got decent attention back then.
