From buttons and circuits to bowties and tattoos, a new website lets users customize their own miniature robot figurines, designable via an intuitive web interface and then 3D-printed and shipped to their destination. (via Designboom)
Harvard researchers build flexible robot that can crawl, slither under a pane of glass. Pumping controlled amounts of air into each of the robot’s four limbs allows it to slither and contort to fit into many difficult spaces. Dope and innovative. #knowledgeispower so pay attention and take #swagnotes.
They say Artificial Intelligence lacks creativity
but I say
Microsoft Paper Clip found a new creative way to ruin my life every day.
Artificial Intelligence is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines and intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence. The goal of some Artificial Intelligence Researchers is to create a robot or computer program that has the same intelligence possibilities as a human. Humans started investing research into Artificial Intelligence after the second World War. Right now we’ve been able to create many different programs to do simple or difficult tasks but we have not been able to perfect a robot that had as many possibilities as a human.

Reading about Artificial Intelligence
“From the navigation system in Google’s autonomous car, the flight assistants in planes, and Canon’s stablized camera lenses, to EKGs and facial recognition systems, AI has been creeping into our culture for some time. It’s just now that these systems are at a point where the general public has begun consciously interacting with them via natural user interfaces—motion, gestures and sounds—rather than through the languages computers have traditionally understood.”

Series of found wood and other objects made into ‘post apocalyptic robots’. They remind me of Kami-robos.
Artificial Intelligence is the study of man-made computational devices and systems which can be made to act in a manner which we would be inclined to call intelligent. Everyday we see more artificial intelligence around us. Without artificial intelligence our lives wouldn't be as simple as it is today.
