The QUMA (pronounced Cooma), from Japanese company SoftEther, works kind of like those 3D wooden mannequins that artists often pose when sketching the human body. Except that the QUMA connects to your PC over USB, and the majority of the puppets’ joints feature sensors that not only detect when they’ve been moved and adjusted, but also translate those movements to the character in your 3D software.
Japan-based SoftEther has developed a 3D motion-capture figure to create computer graphics and animations in 3D. Known as the QUMA, this human-like doll has a set of joints throughout its body, all of which are equipped with sensors and can be moved freely by the user. The QUMA motion capture puppet is ideal for designers and engineers to create 3D CG animation. Watch the video after the jump.
The researchers have taught a computer to find regularities in the natural world that become established laws - yet without any prior scientific knowledge on the part of the computer. They have tested their method, or algorithm, on simple mechanical systems and believe it could be applied to more complex systems 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。
