Wireless internet - cost effective, high speed and everywhere : Sounds like a dream? Well that's what researchers at University of Lancaster are working on. Using the W-band or the millimeter band , seems to be the way to go, promising cost effective and high speed data transfers. The system is yet to be tested in a real operating environment, but indications are favourable.
What is W-band wireless? : The ground-breaking £2.8 million TWEETHER project, funded by Horizon 2020, the biggest EU research and innovation programme ever, will set an important milestone in 'millimeter wave technology' for high speed wireless mobile and fixed point Internet.Millimeter waves - extremely high frequency waves found in the spectrum between microwaves and infrared waves - are deemed to be the most promising and cost effective solution for the future.
Promising : The TWEETHER project will result in a powerful and compact transmission hub, based on a novel travelling wave tube power amplifier and an advanced chipset in a compact terminal, with performance far outweighing any other technology. After three years of design and development, the system will be tested in a real operating environment.
New idea : Professor Paoloni said the answer was the exploitation of unused portions of the spectrum but at higher frequencies. The recent outstanding advancements in the field of vacuum electron devices and solid state electronics using millimetre wave frequencies opens the route for the breakthrough in wireless high speed data communications.

This article by Wired is good because it explores in depth most of the common #artificialintelligence viewpoints, but it doesn't dig into the logic of AI fear. If the logic of AI fear was addressed, Wired would find AI poses not threat whatsoever (a less common but very valid view).
Wired wrote (4 Dec 2014): "Political scientist Charles T. Rubin believes that AI can be neither designed nor guaranteed to be benevolent."
And: "Wearables and the Internet of Things (IoT) may give the impression that it’s all about the sensors, hardware, communication middleware, network and data but the real value (and company valuation) is in insights. In this article, we explore artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning that are becoming indispensable tools for insights, views on AI, and a practical playbook on how to make AI part of your organization’s core, defensible strategy."

Bristol Bright Night
Bristol Bright Night
I am finding even more posts mentioning me. This one is related to the short talk I gave at the Bristol Bright Night 2014 and my supervisor's Robots vs. Animals talk at the same night.
How do ants build bridges? What can you teach a robot? Could a robot be more like a bee? Come along to see how studying the behaviour of swarms is inspiring engineers in state-of-the-art robotics. Prof. Alan Winfield from the University of the West of England and Ben Coleman from Bristol Zoo will demonstrate how swarming behaviour in the natural world is helping engineers to develop robots that can solve problems and work collaboratively.
We are also part of “Bite Size Research” with a short talk by Jessica Meyer on designing robots for swarm behaviours (7.30pm) and another by Shane Windsor on bird flight and aerial robotics, both in the Watershed.

I have just found this blog post from when I took part at the Festival of Nature.
I have just found this blog post from when I took part at the Festival of Nature.
Dave Naish from Bristol Zoo and Professor Alan Winfield from UWE demonstrated how swarms of animals interact and work collaboratively, and how swarm intelligence is being used in robotics.
Dave explained how ants can achieve complex engineering feats such as building bridges by working collectively. Alan then showed how analysing the behaviour of groups of insects was informing the design of innovative robots.
Using the idea of “swarm intelligence,” groups of robots can work collectively to collect information about their surroundings and interact with each other. Programming robots to perform such tasks helps to understand how swarms function in nature, and also develops new capacities for emerging robotics technologies.
The Robots vs. Animals project is a collaboration between the Bristol Robotics Laboratory, Bristol Zoo and the UWE Science Communication Unit supported by the Royal Academy of Engineering Ingenious Awards.
