8.14: addx/robotics/digitizing the 6th sense:

. robots see human`input only from words,

missing the body language and possibly some telepathic clues

that other humans may have access to .

. jinx factor or pride prevents human from mentioning

certain emotional needs .

. however, being familiar with both human routine and bizarre emotions

could help robot mangage when access to historical and recent context

can allow the pruning of

many of the possible messages given covertly .

8.18: addx/robotics/mobility:

. mobile robo cop easier to program with 4legs for rough terrain,

and 2 wheels for smooth -- a built-in motorcycle .

12.11: news.adds/robotics/the Perception-on-Purpose (POP) project:

"It is not that easy using sound alone, to decide

what is foreground and what is background

but by combining the two modalities of sound and vision

it becomes much easier .

Today, at the Neural Information Processing Systems conference (NIPS 2009),

we show the progress we have made.

We demonstrate a detector that has learned to spot cars by

looking at example pictures.
