IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT. "Instead of having to buy a premanufactured object we would just download the design and with the help claytronics it would form into different things. Claytronical objects will be able to form complex structures and perform elaborate tasks that may seem impossible with today’s technologies." https://lnkd.in/dBvyTjg View in LinkedIn

UNIMAGINABLE OPTIONS. "The driving force behind programmable matter is the actual hardware that is manipulating itself into whatever form is desired." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claytronics View in LinkedIn

CLAYTRONICS, programmable matter, shape-shifting materials, telepario, and related developments enhance the possibilities of a virtual existence beyond an ether of dissociated electronic information, but rather in some physical manifestation. Immerse yourself in the possibilities. View in LinkedIn

CALLING ET. "Prof. Warwick's own research, which led to him receiving a neural implant linking his nervous system bi-directionally with the internet. With this implant in place, neural signals were transmitted to various technological devices to directly control them, in some cases via the internet, and feedback to the brain was obtained from such stimuli as the fingertips of a robot hand, ultrasonic (extra-) sensory input and neural signals directly from another human's nervous system." https://lnkd.in/epG78N6 View in LinkedIn

"A HYBRID SYSTEM incorporating closed-loop control of a mobile robot by a dissociated culture of neurons has been created. The system is flexible and allows for closed-loop operation, either with hardware robot or its software simulation." https://lnkd.in/eMAs5uD View in LinkedIn

CYBORGS IN SPACE. "Practical realisation of Cyborgs opens up significant new opportunities in many fields. In particular when it comes to space travel many of the limitations faced by humans, in stand-alone form, are transposed by the adoption of a cyborg persona. In this article a look is taken at different types of Brain-Computer interface which can be employed to realise Cyborgs, biology-technology hybrids." Inevitable solution to space exploration. https://lnkd.in/eMAs5uD View in LinkedIn

CULTURED DRIVER. "In this paper a look is taken at the relatively new area of culturing neural tissue and embodying it in a mobile robot platform—essentially giving a robot a biological brain. This has a potential major impact with regard to society and ethical issues and hence some initial observations are made. Some initial issues are also considered with regard to the potential consciousness of such a brain.” https://lnkd.in/ezN5q2X View in LinkedIn

NETWORKED BOTS. “Google is taking a different approach to training its robots – it’s letting them teach each other. Researchers at Google have released a report showing how they connected 14 robotic arms together and used convolutional neural networks to let them teach themselves how to pick things up. The approach mimics how young children learn between the ages of one and four years old, and is essentially helping the robots to develop reliable hand-eye coordination.” http://thenextweb.com/google/2016/03/10/technological-singularity-ftw/ View in LinkedIn
