Check out this cool infographic about foods that make us smarter! In order for our brain to perform at it's optimal level we need to be eating the right natural foods including good carbs, healthy fats and protein.

#DRC (DARPA Robotics Challenge).
Over the next five years we should see a relatively rapid acceleration of humanoid #robotics prowess. Androids are becoming very accomplished. Drones will likewise become very sophisticated too.
Daily Mail wrote (20 Jan 2015): "A total of $3.5 million in prizes will now be awarded to the top three finishers in the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC), the final event of which will be held June 5-6, 2015, at Fairplex in California."
In addition to the #Atlas robot, mentioned in the Daily Mail article, consider #RoboSimian or #Surrogate reported on by Gizmag (31 Dec 2014):
Gizmag: "According to JPL, Surrogate was built using leftover limbs that were spares from the development of RoboSimian for earlier rounds of the DARPA challenge and uses the same basic computer code and its data files for identifying and using tools. Where RoboSimian looks like a nightmarish cross between a chimpanzee and a spider, Surrogate is more roughly humanoid. It stands 4.5 ft (1.4 m) high weighs 200 lb (90.7 kg), has an upright spine, and two arms. It's much more dexterous than RoboSimian and is better at manipulation. However, after six months of construction and testing, it was determined that RoboSimian would represent JPL during the finals next year." http://www.gizmag.com/robosimian-surrogate-jpl-darpa-robotics-challenge/35404/
Here is an io9 report from Dec 2013 stating the finals would be in late 2014 but I believe the finals moved to June 2015... io9 wrote: "DARPA launched the challenge as a way to encourage the development of robots that can work with people as they respond to both natural and human-made disasters. The competition consists of both robot systems (Class A) and software teams (Class B and C) — and it's designed to be challenging." http://io9.com/meet-the-eight-astounding-finalists-of-darpas-robotics-1489520533
IEE Spectrum wrote (20 Jan 2015), regarding Atlas with fully onboard power supply (no external cords): "We’ve always known that the ATLAS DRC humanoid robot was due for some serious upgrades before the DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals, because having a robot that’s tethered for power and safety is just not in the spirit of what the DRC is all about: moving towards robotic systems that can provide meaningful assistance during a real-world disaster scenario." http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/military-robots/atlas-drc-robot-is-75-percent-new-completely-unplugged
IEEE Spectrum wrote (6 Feb 2014): "If Google does indeed remove SCHAFT from the DRC Finals, it will be disappointing not to see the top team participate in what is expected to be a much harder competition—and arguably the most anticipated robotics event ever. But from Google's perspective, it bought SCHAFT as part of a bigger effort, and it might want the Japanese company focused not on rescue robots but, we suppose, on more market-oriented applications. For now, all we can do is wait until we have official word from Google or DARPA." http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/humanoids/schaft-robot-company-bought-by-google-darpa-robotics-challenge-winner

Alex Garland rejects AI paranoia.
Alex Garland said, regarding his upcoming film Ex Machina: "People are paranoid about AI and computers in general. I approach it from a slightly different angle because I don't feel paranoid about it."
AIs could be more at risk from humans instead of AIs being a risk to humans. Alex said: ""Personally I think they're in more danger from us. We humans have a history of making catastrophic mistakes, so I think a new consciousness might be better at that than we are."
The BBC reported (24 Jan 2015) how Alex Glarland thinks human level #artificialintelligence will be "benevolent" not a threat. Garland dismissed the views of Stephen Hawking, and said AI consciousness is "around the corner in the same way that a cure for cancer is around the corner." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-30922802
The film is about the interpersonal dynamics between two human males and one female humanoid-AI-bot (fembot). Descriptions of the film indicate AI rights and questions of sentience are addressed.

Grow-up Humanity.
It's blunt but true. The hysterical #Singularity #artificialintelligence doom-mongers need to "grow up" according to this article by The Next Web (19 Jan 2015). We have the ability to choose #utopia the article states, but will you make the correct choice?
Here are a few quotes:
"While some of the concerns are valid – for instance some jobs will lose their significance in the long run – it is up to us to decide how we develop ourselves to be relevant in the new machine age."
"The answer lies not in stopping progress but evolving to maximizing the benefits of it."
"Developments in AI can lead us to a human Utopia, but there is a fork in the road, and where we end up will be decided by which road we choose to follow."

Das Forscherteam um den IPA-Wissenschaftler Ulrich Reiser hat die vierte Generation des #Care-O-bot® entwickelt. Der #Serviceroboter soll einmal die Zeitung bringen, Kaffee einschenken oder den Tisch abräumen können. Anders als sein Vorgänger, der mit seiner zurückhaltenden und distanzierten Art eher an einen Buttler erinnert, ist Care-O-bot 4® so zuvorkommend und freundlich wie ein Gentleman. Das Besondere: Sein modularer Aufbau erlaubt es, ihn für spezifische Anwendungen individuell auszurüsten. So bildet das System die Grundlage für kommerzielle Serviceroboter-Lösungen.
