Random Robot Roundup
Howard Gordon writes, "Robot remote control via Internet is not a new
concept, but this demo,
created by Ogilvy New Zealand for BP Australia takes things to a new
level." You can find more info about the project in the Surveyor
news blog. Another reader pointed us to an interesting PLoS
Biology paper that discusses some interesting parallels between
language evolution and biological evolution including evidence of
punctuated (no pun intended) equilibrium. The Swirling Brain pointed out
a Technology
review story on a new MRI technique called Diffusion spectrum
imaging (DSI) which is revealing new information about the organization of
brain cells. He also noticed stories on an artificially
intelligent glider, a Scientific
American report about a clever psychological experiment on free
will, new
spoilers about Terminator Salvation revealing a religious "building
robots is a sin" theme, and an article on
the winners of the UK
MoD Grand Challenge. Roland Piquepaille's latest blog post is about
an AUV being used to explore the world's deepest underwater volcanoes in
the Caribbean. Know any other robot news, gossip, or amazing facts we
should report? Send 'em our way
please.
