Brain-like computing on an organic molecular layer
One big advantage a brain's circuitry has always had over a computer's is its ability to evolve as it tackles complex problems. Now, scientists have created a tiny computing device with a brain-like "evolutionary circuit."... [read the full article]

Grand unified theory of AI: New approach unites two prevailing but often opposed strains in artificial-intelligence research
In the 1950s and '60s, artificial-intelligence researchers saw themselves as trying to uncover the rules of thought. But those rules turned out to be way more complicated than anyone had imagined. Since then, artificial-intelligence (AI) research has come to rely, instead, on probabilities -- statistical patterns that computers can learn from large sets of training data. The probabilistic approach has been responsible for most of the present progress in artificial intelligence, such as voice recognition systems, or the system that recommends movies to Netflix subscribers. But MIT research scientist Noah Goodman thinks that AI gave up too much when it gave up rules. By combining the old rule-based systems with insights from the new probabilistic systems, Goodman has found a way to model thought that could have broad implications for both AI and cognitive science....

World record: Largest simulation of an ideal quantum computer
A quantum computer could provide an tremendous enhancement in the handling speed of existing computers. However, as yet they only exist in the laboratory in the form of small prototypes with a capacity of a few bits. They can now be explored in more detail, at least in simulations. The Julich supercomputer JUGENE can now simulate the largest quantum computer system in the world with 42 bits.... [read the full article]

Kompai Robot from Robosoft
Robosoft has declared the Kompaï R&D Robot which is developed to assist elderly and handicapped people in their homes. It could also be used as a receptionist. Users can interact with the robot via speech recognition and synthesis or a touch screen. It also has a WiFi connection and can do autonomous navigation. The first edition of the robot is intended for developers so that they can start creating robotics applications.
The robuBox software system is based on Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio and includes a 3D simulation of the robot in an apartment environment which allows developers to get started without a real robot.

New tool and tutorials for learning about Robotics Developer Studio
Young Joon Kim in Korea maintains a web site about Robotics Developer Studio called Hello Apps. He has presently added the topics below:
- C# interface programming with SPL
- Java interface programming with SPL
- Python interface programming with SPL
- LabView interface programming with VPL and SPL
- MATLAB interface programming with VPL
- Flash interface programming with VPL and SPL
- VPL UI programming
- And a lot of robotics and creativity course samples
Note that SPL (Simulation Programming Language) is Young Joon's own development environment for RDS. SPL adds a scripting layer to the RDS Simulator. Although it is based around simulation, the principles apply to real-world robotics as well.
There is a lot of great material on the web site, especially if you ar... [read the full article]
