Following up after a recent report on the potential of killer robots on the fields of war, the US is asking all nations to take on a willing ban of the use of killer bots due to legal and ethical issues that surround the use of the robots in battle.
Robots Evolve!
Posted in: Today's ChiliNick Cheney, a current candidate for a PhD at Cornell University, has shown off some pretty cool research in robotics recently. He applied the idea of evolution to the bots. A single bot, which was fairly generic, was able to reproduce into several generations of more effective models. By using breeding to respond to a single selective pressure.
A new octopus that is not biological swims the same way that a real one would. The bot, which was shown off at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), which takes place annually in Karlsruhe, Germany showed off the robot in a tank in order to demonstrate the swimming motion.
