In perusing through the site Future Scanner yesterday I came across a link to a new institution called Singularity University located at the NASA Research Park in Moffett Field, California. Singularity University was founded earlier this month with the mission of “preparing humanity for accelerating technological change,” and is being led by noted futurist, author, scientist, and [...] View more...
Educating for the Future: the Need for more Comprehensive Training in Humanoid Robotics Technologies
Thursday, February 26th, 2009Robots in the Classroom
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009Imagine the high school classroom of 2050: visually and ergonomically friendly photonic-computers with terabyte memory capabilities molded into the multi-touch desks; a smart automated control system that regulates day lighting, air quality, and temperature; and holographic maps and overhead projection features. But something is strikingly different; in one corner of the class there sit two [...] View more...
Specialized Training for the Future of Humanoid Robotics Technologies: Neuromorphic Engineering
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009The robotics industry is experiencing exponential growth worldwide and stands poised to become one of the most exciting and expansive markets for technology in the twenty-first century. According to an article in Korea.net, in 2007 the global market for robots grew by 18.9 percent to an estimated $8.12 billion with the markets for manufacturing and service [...] View more...
Neuronal Circuits and the Development of ‘Smart’ Robots
Thursday, February 19th, 2009A team of scientists at the Weizmann Institute in Israel has received considerable attention in recent months for innovations in the development of logical circuits from neurons rather than wires. According to an article in NewScientist, and more recently at robot.net, scientists have successfully created logic circuits from neurons grown in a geometric design. [...] View more...
A Brief Survey of the Current State of Affairs in Humanoid Robotics Technologies and Innovations
Friday, February 13th, 2009The modern visionary notion of the humanoid robot as an anthropomorphic device that will clean the home, take out the trash, and cook the meals is no longer relegated to science fiction, but has become an increasingly plausible technological reality (Kiesler & Hinds, 2004). Humanoid robots are steadily becoming more autonomous, intelligent, and interactive with [...] View more...
