SWARMING IN NATURE. "Ants use chemical traces. Fish detect vibrations in the water around them. Bees use high speed gestures. Birds detect motions propagating through the flock. Whatever method is used for establishing the interstitial connectivity, the resulting swarms possess capabilities as a group that the individuals alone can’t match." https://lnkd.in/d4BA4ZJ View in LinkedIn

HUMANS LACK CONNECTIONS. "Certainly humans didn’t evolve the ability to swarm, for we lack the innate connections that other species use to establish feedback-loops among individual members." https://lnkd.in/d4BA4ZJ View in LinkedIn

"CAN HUMANS SWARM? Swarms behave as unique entities, operating as a coherent unit that displays emergent intelligence, even emergent personality." https://lnkd.in/d4BA4ZJ View in LinkedIn

"TELEROBOTS physically separate the master controller that is operated by a human from the slave robot that interacts with the environment." https://lnkd.in/eJy8qkc View in LinkedIn

WARM AND FUZZY BOTS. “Sony has announced plans to develop a robot “capable of forming an emotional bond with customers. It seems that a lot of tech companies are finding ways to make the human-robot interaction as warm and fuzzy as possible. Japanese telecoms company SoftBank made similar “emotional” claims about its Pepper companion robot, while Boston Dynamics has unveiled earlier the SpotMini, a robot with a sense of humor.”(2016) https://lnkd.in/d44cZk7 View in LinkedIn

EMOTIONAL READING. "A pet cat or dog’s ability to respond to our emotional state opens an interaction channel with high visceral impact, which social robots may also be able to access." http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016786551400333X View in LinkedIn

AUTHENTIC HANDSHAKES. “The idea of the tournament was for algorithms to compete in their ability to produce handshakes that are similar to those of humans. Human judges were asked to distinguish between human and robotic handshakes and artificial agents were asked to make similar judgments." https://lnkd.in/eJy8qkc View in LinkedIn

GAME THEORY VS REALITY. "In the weird, wild world outside the Petri dish, the correct decision is not always the right decision.” https://lnkd.in/dqhzC5Q View in LinkedIn

PROBLEM SOLVING MACHINE. "Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a problem solving machine that can match the work of human experts in a fraction of the time. The implications could be vast." http://www.theworldweekly.com/reader/view/storyline/2015-10-22/a-new-ai-algorithm-can-outperform-human-intuition/5348 View in LinkedIn

INCREASED EFFICIENCY. "We have found that the processing stage can be shortened, abbreviated, or simplified (make concise) which is the way of intuition to perform faster that the conscious mechanism such as the artificial intelligence methods." Artificial Intuition significantly increased efficiency in robotic tasks. https://lnkd.in/exm6Ryu View in LinkedIn
