Japanese robot guards to patrol shops, offices

有一個新聞文章, 說日本已經發明出可以當警衛的機器人 @@” 滿利害的嘛! 感想: 可是我有點擔心說, 以後偷東西會不會變比較簡單了? 或是說, 會不會把無線電的接收器破壞, 機器人就會全部停止操作? 那是會跟人說話的機器人嗎? 還是每一句都program好? (應該都program好吧) 還有就是, 日本人真的放心在這種惡劣的時代讓機器人代替當警衛嗎??? 好多問題喔…!! 看情況, 像小叮噹那樣有personality的機器人, 有可能在100年之內出生呢! 四度空間袋子應該是不可能啦. 有的話我也看不到~ 呵呵&#[ READ MORE ]

Bananas used to create fuel replacement

看到一個有趣的新聞文章. 這個是說以後可以用香蕉來代替fuel. 我只聽說過有banana paper, 比較環保不過貴很多. 香蕉fuel卻是第一次聽見….. 感想: 如果可以成功, 也有辦法用的很便宜的話, 這樣比較環保, 對地球生態比較好呢! Greenhouse effect可能也會有點慢下來…. 想想看, 地球真的是越來越熱了. 尤其是最近這幾年, 冬天根本都不會怎麼冷了!! 熱到某個程度, 南北極的冰塊突然急速溶化還得了? ~”~ 所以紙張還是盡量recycle的好. 至於fuel, 其實早就有人發明用水當”fuel”的車子了. 沒有implement的原因是政府不要, 因為會一大堆人失業 (在油礦工作的人). 聽起來好像是對那些人很公平, 不過speed-up greenhouse effect, 對地球的未來實在是沒什麼幫助. 說不定還會害死後代呢[ READ MORE ]

The 2020 vision of robotic assistants unveiled

感想: 這個article那兩個機器人長的很可愛 (see full article for pic), 很有日本feel…. 日本人真的很厲害…. eventually小叮噹真的會被發明出來也不稀奇了… 當然, 像小叮噹的機器人被發明出來之前, 先要有人發明出好的AI… 現在這時代那麼多關於AI的故事, 好像要用出好的AI真的很不簡單…. 拜託讀engineering跟IT的人啦!! 希望不要用出奇怪的東西…. 就跟讀biotech的也會有人”警告”說不要發明resident evil一樣…. [ READ MORE ]
