Categories: -Design- -Gadgets- -Interesting sites- -Technology- -Science-
Immitating and understanding the learning skills of humans and animals is one of the biggest problems of artificial intelligence research. Understanding and replicating the the learning mechanism is the key to making robots and humanoids that can adjust to changing environment and develop their skills over time. Babybot is a robot that learns to interact with the world in a similar way to a human baby. It could provide researchers with fresh insights into biological intelligence.Created by roboticists from Italy, France and Switzerland, "Babybot" automatically experiments with objects nearby and learns how best to make use of them.

Non volatile memory such as Flash and EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) is everywhere. It keeps the data in your MP3 player, digital camera, PDA and your mobile phone. A significant part of the cost of these devices is dedicated to NVM. Current NVM chips are expensive, slow to write, consume expensive package space when it comes to small devices like camera phones with large storage need. They are also unreliable which means special software needs to handle redundancy and error correction. Imagine the impact on mobile devices of a technological breakthrough that would make Non Volatile Memory chips cost less, have larger capacity, smaller physical space and lower power consumption.
