a) Joel, for being pwned by the subject of the article. That's gotta hurt.

b) Marty, for lurking on engadget, and pwning people who get his name wrong. Marty, what? Are you afraid of being confused with the other mad scientist named Warwick making fetal ratbots? Seriously, most of these commenters work at Blockbuster and live in their parents' basements. Don't you have anything better to do with your time? Perhaps applying for grants from the National Mad Science Foundation?]]>Aug 13th 2008 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/uk-researchers-give-robot-a-biological-brain/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/uk-researchers-give-robot-a-biological-brain/Aug 13th 2008 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/uk-researchers-give-robot-a-biological-brain/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/uk-researchers-give-robot-a-biological-brain/
On a seperate note, I would LOVE it if there was a National Mad Science Foundation. :)]]>Aug 13th 2008 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/uk-researchers-give-robot-a-biological-brain/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/uk-researchers-give-robot-a-biological-brain/
He is far more interesting than the stereotypical grumpy professor. Oh and the RFID tag was one of the first experiments, I suggest you actually do some reading on the brain gate nerve interface, which is what made him the "cyborg". The RFID tag was just an implant, the braingate is a bidirectional 100 pin nerve interface chip.]]>Aug 13th 2008 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/uk-researchers-give-robot-a-biological-brain/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/uk-researchers-give-robot-a-biological-brain/

But for real now, the article mentions .."Every time the robot nears an object, signals are directed to stimulate the brain by means of the electrodes."

So they shock the cells if they are about to hit something and then hope it will remember to avoid the same obstacle again? Seems a bit contrived unless they blindfold it and send it through the same course.

Ohhh, then spritz a little alcohol on the buggers and see what happens!

yes, the initial r-tard is, well, an r-tard. But then there is always a witty and pointed comment that makes me laugh.

HOPEFULLY your brain would get messed up after a while and you would loose awarness and 'get out' of that mess.

I've had a similar experience, being locked up at a psychiatric institution full of angst and not able to end my life. Add to this some aspberger and the whole thing become more intense. Fortunately the angst was due to a nasty depression + anti-bipolar drug, and depressions usually goes away (by walking). ]]>Aug 14th 2008 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/uk-researchers-give-robot-a-biological-brain/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/uk-researchers-give-robot-a-biological-brain/Aug 14th 2008 10:13AM
