Tapping into genome secrets

How has genomics changed our view of biology lately? If one focuses on much-discussed rivalries between certain sequencing groups, one could easily argue, 'not much'. But look a little bit closer at what genomic approaches are continuing to produce, and there are clear signs of some profound discoveries in the making. For example, observations from the major sequencing initiatives are beginning...

Tapping into Touch

Humans use a set of exploratory procedures to examine object properties through grasping and touch. Our goal is to exploit similar methods to enable developmental learning on a humanoid robot. We use a compliant robot hand to find objects without prior knowledge of their presence or location, and then tap those objects with a finger. This behavior lets the robot generate and collect samples of ...

Integrating Know-How into the Linked Data Cloud

This paper presents the first framework for integrating procedural knowledge, or “know-how”, into the Linked Data Cloud. Knowhow available on the Web, such as step-by-step instructions, is largely unstructured and isolated from other sources of online knowledge. To overcome these limitations, we propose extending to procedural knowledge the benefits that Linked Data has already brought to repre...
