“What is General Intelligence?” is a short introductory article to the theory of “real AI”, Artificial Intelligence which is seriously intended to match human intelligence in generality. If you are reading an offline version, further material on general intelligence can be found at the Singularity Institute

Matt Bounding, a student at the University of Arizona, developed and built a robotic spider that automatically learns to walk whenever it include. The robot is equipped with a webcam; it analyzes the image and comparing them with the movement of their own feet, learning to walk.

Decades, people tried to copy the human mind, using increasingly clever software, creating an ever more sophisticated artificial intelligence system. But, despite all attempts, even the best artificial intelligence system slightly exceeds the average intelligence cockroach.

Championship among robots – a sort of annual review of the achievements of artificial intelligence. Some cars will be playing soccer, others – to depict rescuers in the earthquake.

The robot developed at the University of famous MIT in Boston (United States) was the star of the eleventh show of the Virtual Reality in Laval, in late April.

Recently, Professor Jun-Ho Oh was crowned “Man of the Year 2004″ from the Institute for Advanced Science and Technology of Korea (Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology, KAIST) for his work on robotic humanoid .

A robotic hand could revolutionize manufacturing and medicine. It developed from software using artificial intelligence will be able to learn the movements of a human hand and then reproduce. And to perform actions requiring dexterity beyond the reach of current robots. To achieve this, scientists have developed a glove connected to sensors that record the [...]

The Japanese carmaker Honda has unveiled the latest version of the biped robot, Asimo. This has improved its performance movement: it runs faster, and he knows now serving coffee to visitors! From spring 2006, Honda is using Asimo as assistant reception or transmission properties at the headquarters of Honda and CEO, Mr Takeo Fukui dream [...]

Aberystwyth, Wales – A robot named Adam who can develop theories and test them almost without help from humans, became the first machine to a new scientific discovery. His experiences have provided additional expert knowledge about the genetic mechanisms of yeast. In the magazine Science, Professor Ross King and his colleagues the laboratory of the [...]

Isaac Asimov has a strong scientific spirit and part of that generation novelist standing at the forefront of technology and its times. The content of these novels is affected: the magnificent stories in which reflections on humanity and artificial intelligence, detailed descriptions and imagination structured, complex puzzles that we tape up the end of each [...]
