Living machines
Our aim is to sketch the boundaries of a parallel track in the evolution of robotic forms that is radically different from any previously attempted. To do this we will first describe the motivation for doing so and then the strategy for achieving it. Along the way, it will become clear that the machines we design and build are not robots in any traditional sense. They are not machines designed ...
متن کاملLiving Machines
The Problem: Although artificial intelligence has been very successful and is present, largely unseen, in the everyday life of most people in the developed world, there still seems to be some things missing. Over the last fifteen years we have built behavior-based artificial creatures situated in the world like insects [2] and recently we have built robots with which we can have human-like soci...

Mechanical tortoise: A replica of W. Grey Walter’s 1951 robot Machina Speculatrix, incorporating several original parts, but without the perspex shell responsible for the tortoise nickname, built by Ian Horsfield and Owen Holland in the Bristol Robotics Lab. (Photo: Alan Winfield.) W. Grey Walter (1910–1977), a US-born neurophysiologist and EEG specialist at Bristol, UK, made important contribu...
متن کاملHomeostasis: From Living Creatures to Living Machines
The Problem: While many robots in industry and research have proven capable of operating in complex environments, most robots still fall well short of living creatures in their ability to deal with extreme variations in their environment. Living creatures, by contrast, will typically cope in any environment to the extent that their physical bodies allow. Living creatures never give up trying to...
متن کاملCreating cellular inequality
L ike Peter Pan, some stem cells never grow up. A kinase curbs differentiation of these cells and helps them retain their ability to proliferate, Niessen et al. show (1). Each time a stem cell or progenitor cell divides, the daughter cells can remain unspecialized or they can differentiate, sometimes losing their capacity for replication. Healthy tissues balance the number of cells choosing eac...
