    and what is your take?
  •  
    As William Gibson famously said "The future is already here - it's just not very evenly distributed." Many of the listed technologies are already here, in one way or another, the authors are just putting dates on when they think they'll achieve greater consumer impact. I have issues with many of those dates. I think there are a lot of under- and overestimations. Also, what a bleak future for AI it that's all it'll give the world in the next 30 years!

At Google X, a Top-Secret Lab Dreaming Up the Future - NYTimes.com - 3 views

  • These are just a few of the dreams being chased at Google X, the clandestine lab where Google is tackling a list of 100 shoot-for-the-stars ideas. In interviews, a dozen people discussed the list; some work at the lab or elsewhere at Google, and some have been briefed on the project. But none would speak for attribution because Google is so secretive about the effort that many employees do not even know the lab exists.

    hmmm, I was wondering how many ESA employees do know that ACT does exist....

    Joggobot turns a quadrocopter into a running companion Researchers from RMIT in Melbourne, Australia have developed a flying running companion called Joggobot. The system uses the built-in camera on a commercially-available Parrot AR Drone quadrocopter to track the position of a jogger, and fly a few feet out in front.

    did not know about them and we never had any contact with them ... though they seem to have some interesting stuff ongoing, see especially the COCORO project ... any of you know them? Marek, Dario, Guido, Luke?

    I saw there presentation at the EUCogIII/CogSys meeting in February. Tbh I was not really impressed with the CoCoRo project, not really much new things in there ... yet
  •  
    Yes I know all of them, also personally. Know all their work up to 2008-9, hopefully they have matured since then. Not very impressive stuff

    Thanks for the answers guys!

Autonomous drones flock like birds (video) #Nature - 2 views

  •  
    A Hungarian team has created the first drones that can fly as a coordinated flock. The researchers watched as the ten autonomous robots took to the air in a field outside Budapest, zipping through the open sky, flying in formation or even following a leader, all without any central control.
  •  
    old news, but wow .... Nature is becoming more and more like a magazine and less and less a scientific journal. This stuff is highly irrelevant but to the group that did it.
  •  
    this is not a nature paper but just an article on their website - the papers they provide as references are all old
