HAPTIC HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION. "The rapidly evolving technology of tactors—haptic display devices targeting the operator’s cutaneous receptors." https://lnkd.in/eJy8qkc View in LinkedIn
FILLING IN THE GAPS OF EVOLUTION. "Yes, humans can swarm. And yes, new technology is the key. Humans can swarm only if we develop technologies that fill in missing the pieces evolution hasn’t yet provided. And thus far, the results have been fascinating, suggesting that enhanced intelligence through human swarming is a very real possibility." https://lnkd.in/d4BA4ZJ View in LinkedIn
HAPTIC INTERFACE. "Humanoid robots—learning and cooperating multimodal robots. It presents a haptic interface called “tactile language” that was designed to provide an additional non-verbal interaction modality. " https://lnkd.in/gPneEfA View in LinkedIn

OPEN-ENDED TASKS. "Robots should be capable of interacting in a cooperative and adaptive manner with their human counterparts in open-ended tasks that can change in real-time. An important aspect of the robot behavior will be the ability to acquire new knowledge of the cooperative tasks by observing and interacting with humans." http://www.eva.mpg.de/documents/IEEE/Lall%C3%A9e_Towards_IEEETrans_2012_1569280.pdf View in LinkedIn
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
“Many animal genes are homologs of bacterial genes, mostly derived by descent, but occasionally by gene transfer from bacteria. For example, 37% of the ∼23,000 human genes have homologs in the Bacteria and Archaea, and another 28% originated in unicellular eukaryotes." http://www.pnas.org/content/110/9/3229.full View in LinkedIn
