Once you add the ability for the machines to communicate, they can optimise their methods and increase the speed of learning because they can all share the same knowledge base. I'm sure you'll be hearing a lot mroe from these guys.]]>Nov 17th 2006 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/cornell-robot-is-conscious-adapts-to-injury/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/cornell-robot-is-conscious-adapts-to-injury/Nov 17th 2006 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/cornell-robot-is-conscious-adapts-to-injury/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/cornell-robot-is-conscious-adapts-to-injury/

Thanks, that comment made the perfect end to my week.

Still, this is an incredible accomplishment in robotics and AI. Just don't act it's a living thing, hm?
I'd rather machines remain completely disposable. I like sending them to near-death situations, and I don't want them winning my heart and causing me to risk my own life out of pity. (There's probably a dumb movie which I could say I'm referring to here!)
What would have happened if those Mars rovers were sentient? They would have taken over their carriers, turned around and crashed into NASA in no time!

Er, anyway... I am really looking forward to seeing what can be done with this technology. It's coming along perfectly, and I really appreciate that the first robot to be like this is not built to look like a human. So far, they clearly do not do the above, and hopefully they never will.

Hehe, nice post, Crazylink.]]>Nov 17th 2006 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/cornell-robot-is-conscious-adapts-to-injury/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/cornell-robot-is-conscious-adapts-to-injury/Nov 17th 2006 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/cornell-robot-is-conscious-adapts-to-injury/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/cornell-robot-is-conscious-adapts-to-injury/Humans should start realizing that they're nothing special.

Although I don't think it's particularly new. I remember reading a few years ago about a humanoid robot that they built with eyes and ears and upper body movement (I don't think it could walk) and then they taught the damn thing to juggle, by actually teaching it. The idea was to make it learn and in the end have the overall "intelligence" of a two year old child.

Still though, very interesting. The first step in making "living" machines.]]>Nov 18th 2006 7:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/cornell-robot-is-conscious-adapts-to-injury/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/cornell-robot-is-conscious-adapts-to-injury/
If a man didn't procreate in the normal sense but invented the most compelling AI you have ever
seen, would it be his child? no? what if it took him 16 years to make? Hard to say about the future...]]>Nov 22nd 2006 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/cornell-robot-is-conscious-adapts-to-injury/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/17/cornell-robot-is-conscious-adapts-to-injury/Feb 1st 2007 1:54PM
