The researchers have taught a computer to find regularities in the natural world that become established laws - yet without any prior on the part of the computer. They have tested their method, or , on simple and believe it could be applied to more ranging from biology to cosmology and be useful in analyzing the mountains of data generated by modern experiments that use electronic data collection.  

The research will be published in the journal Science (April 3, 2009) by Hod Lipson, Cornell associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, and graduate student Michael Schmidt, a specialist in computational biology.

英國科學家宣布在人工智慧領域獲得突破,創造出具備推理、探索科學知識能力的機器人。
根據路透社報導,英國威爾斯Aberystwyth大學的Ross King和研究團隊創造名為「亞當」的機器人,它所進行的實驗是研究酵母菌的新陳代謝,並可以對研究結果推理,主動規畫下一個實驗。
科學家希望未來機器人能夠解析生物體系、設計新藥、分析氣候或研究宇宙,不過也有學者認為現在的研究機器人頂多從事的是研究助理的工作罷了。

iRobot designs and builds robots that make a difference.

iRobot was founded in 1990 when Massachusetts Institute of Technology roboticists Colin Angle and Helen Greiner teamed up with their professor Dr. Rodney Brooks with the vision of making practical robots a reality.

Today, iRobot has grown to a $307 million public company that employs more than 400 of the robot industry’s top professionals, including mechanical, electrical and software engineers and related support staff. iRobot stock trades on the NASDAQ stock market under the ticker symbol IRBT.

iRobot’s corporate headquarters are located in Bedford, Mass. The company also has offices in Virginia, North Carolina, California, the United Kingdom, France, India, China and Hong Kong.

更進一步將數位布袋戲互動實體化,應用數位手套+機器人+虛擬布袋戲完成第一階段,布袋戲教學活動

電指花戲 The Glove Puppet Robot : X-puppet

數位手套,可讓使用者直接戴上後,直接做操偶手勢便可即時控制機器人,使其做出對應的動作。

動作編輯軟體,藉由電腦圖形視窗,動作分格技巧,使用者可自由組合分類好的動作如舉手,點頭等,搭配時間軸和音樂軌,輕鬆編輯出一連串複雜的動作以及背景音樂。

X-puppet具有力感測裝置,可以感知其力道與方位,這將提升其互動模式的豐富性與趣味性。

互動式遊戲介面,由3D繪圖軟體建立虛擬的三度空間,讓虛擬的數位布袋戲,遊走虛擬場景中,並透過辨識數位手套資訊,操控圖像式立體遊戲介面環境與領導觀眾達到寓教於樂的目的。
