    Quantum Computing and Machine Learning in the same sentence. The association started to be put forward by Google and NASA playing with D-WAVE computers. Meanwhile in the academic media, https://journals.aps.org/prx/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevX.4.031002

    Interesting read!

    it got some interesting viewpoitns from a game/marketing point of view but to say that Kinect2 was only a marginal improvement over the first one is only true if you think about games. For robots it is a huge step forward!

    Prediction-based method for encouraging reinforcement learning agents to explore their environments through curiosity (reward for unfamiliar states). Learns some games without any extrinsic reward!

    Fun failure case: agent gets stuck in front of TV.

    Not read this article but on a related note: Curiosity and various metrics for it have been explored for some time in robotics (outside of RL) as a framework for exploring (partially) unfamiliar environments. I came across some papers on this topic applied to UAVs when prep'ing for a PhD app. This one (http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/~yogesh/publications/crv2014.pdf) comes to mind - which used a topic modelling approach.

    They are developing so-called "Avatar" technology which will allow people to control robots remotely, as in the movie "Avatar." With Avatar X, they hope to revolutionize space exploration, resource extraction, and other space-based activities. On the Avatar X website, it says, "AVATAR X aims to capitalize on the growing space-based economy by accelerating development of real-world Avatars that will enable humans to remotely build camps on the Moon, support long-term space missions and further explore space from afar."

    he looks way more elegant than most humans when running :D

    one of these again. french illustrations from 1910 of life in the year 2000. some pleasingly close. a lot of flying and robots. some inexplicable (bunch of people staring at a horse). some bmi.

    what would be todays equivalents?

    Ha! The one about the horse is that "in 100 years there will be people who've never seen a live horse in their lives" :-) Actually it's more than true now with children asking my mother who works in the school "so, do those kangaroos really exist"? Children are fed with so much realistic BS on TV (dinosaur parks etc.) that they can hardly tell the difference between fiction and reality. If you already have offspring: have they seen, say, a live cow or chicken already? (This is most probably a reference to the quote: "Horse is as everyone can see")

    >what would be todays equivalents? Hmmm... what about technology forecasts?
  • Nicholas Lan on 04 Mar 11
     
    ah. that makes sense. what about the one where they're having dinner then?

    No idea... another one I don't get is the one with the waiter presenting some small black-white thing to the white hair guy on a chair.

    At SRI International in Silicon Valley, researchers have developed perhaps the most impressive microbot army yet: the MicroFactory. It's an ant colony made robotic, with half-millimeter machines zipping around to construct truly impressive structures.
