Piecing Together The Next Generation Of Cognitive Robots
|
|
European researchers are making progress on piecing together a new generation of machines that are more aware of their environment and better able to interact with humans. While building robots with anything akin to human intelligence remains a far off vision, making them more responsive would allow them to be used in a greater variety of sophisticated tasks in the manufacturing and service sectors. Such robots could be used as home helpers and caregivers, for example.

Female concave-eared frogs draw mates with ultrasonic calls
|
|
(University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) Most female frogs don't call; most lack or have only rudimentary vocal cords. A typical female selects a mate from a chorus of males and then -- silently -- signals her beau. But the female concave-eared torrent frog, Odorrana tormota, has a more direct method of declaring her interest: She emits a high-pitched chirp that to the human ear sounds like that of a bird.

Top marks for research and development in the PTB
|
|
(Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB)) By order of the German Federal Government, the Wissenschaftsrat evaluates all the federal institutions with research and development assignments. Today the Wissenschaftsrat presented its scientific and political statement about the PTB to the public. The Wissenschaftsrat assesses the R&D work of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt as well as its science-based services overall as very good, in places even as excellent. The Bundesanstalt is positioned scientifically and technologically at the forefront of internationally leading national metrology institutes.
