Perhaps you know a little something about robotic design, programming or haptics? Maybe you know something about all three? Maybe you might win the next RoboPrize worth millions of dollars. For me, well I am not a programmer, but understand all the concepts behind the idea. It is possible to design such an android or human like artificially intelligent robot. Indeed my biggest concern is that we must create a robot, which can program itself and learn when thrown into a different environment and to use its experiences in other environments which are similar to start to try new things, while continuing to watch self preservation, as such a robot would be an expensive and valuable piece of equipment to lose. Many thoughts here from AI autonomous automobiles, aircraft, robotic exploration rovers, military systems, business decision machines and underwater exploration. Did you know that www.RoboPrize.com is willing to pay out millions if you can come up with the answer to the an android robot which actually works? The question is interesting in the Robo Prize contest as they ask to design an entire system, the robot, programming, etc. Thus it involves everything Haptics to human mimicking personality strategies. But it is a very cool thing they are doing indeed. Are you up for the challenge? Consider this in 2006. |
