Temperature-induced film deformation produces teeth-like structures - 0 views

  • Thin films can buckle round curved substrates to form gears for micromachines
  • Until now, making microgears has required expensive etching and micromachining. Chen's method only requires a change in temperature - no external guidance is required.
  • The team have made gears with diameters of 6 millimetres but they are keen to go smaller and make true microgears that could be used in biomedical engineering or aerospace.

The Origin of Artificial Species: Creating Artificial Personalities - 0 views

  • The first artificial creature to receive the genomic personality is Rity, a dog-like software character that lives in a virtual 3D world in a PC
  • In Rity, internal states such as motivation, homeostasis and emotion change according to the incoming perception
  • The internal control architecture processes incoming sensor information, calculates each value of internal states as its response, and sends the calculated values to the behavior selection module to generate a proper behavior.
