notability Neologisms date March 2009 Roblog is a neologism for a blog written by a robot with no human intervention. Roblogs were made possible with a new generation of robots which are capable of uploading images and texts automatically to the Web. The first roblogs to appear, late 2005, were written by AIBO robots, the dog like robotic pets once manufactured by Sony. AIBO diaries AIBO diaries are roblogs produced by AIBO model ERS 7, running a bundled software called Mind in either version 2 or 3. Depending on the language of the Mind software, the AIBO blogs in either English or Japanese. To be able to blog on its own, an ERS 7M2 or ERS 7M3 must be linked to the Internet through its Wi Fi connection capability, and its e mail sending capability must be correctly configured, for which an SMTP server not requiring authentication nor alternate ports is needed. Posts, consisting of pictures taken with the AIBO s color camera built into its nose, are then sent by e mail to the blog.

Pyrobot was funded from 2003 to 2005 by the National Science Foundation as NSF DUE CCLI EMD Award number 0231363, Beyond LEGOs Hardware, Software, and Curriculum for the Next Generation Robot Laboratory . The principal investigators on the NSF grant were Douglas Blank of Bryn Mawr College , Kurt Konolige of SRI International , Deepak Kumar computer scientist of Bryn Mawr College , Lisa Meeden of Swarthmore College , and Holly Yanco of University of Massachusetts Lowell . PyroBot is a Python programming language Python library with some C code for processing camera images. It has connections to Player, Stage, and Gazebo. It also contains its own simulator written completely in Python. It can directly control a variety of real robots, including the Pioneer, Khepera, Aibo, and Hemisson. The ideas from PyroBot continue to evolve as Myro, short for My Robot, in the Institute for Personal Robots in Education software, although it is no longer for Python only. Myro can be used by many other computer languages as well.

Merge Behavior based robotics date April 2008 See also situated Nouvelle AI Behavior Based Artificial Intelligence BBAI is a methodology for developing AI based on a modular decomposition of intelligence. It was made famous by Rodney Brooks and his subsumption architecture was one of the earliest attempts to describe a mechanism for developing BBAI. It is extremely popular in robotics and to a lesser extent Intelligent agent intelligent virtual agents because it allows the successful creation of real time dynamic systems that can run in complex environments. For example, it underlies the intelligence of the Sony Aibo and many RoboCup robot teams. The most important attribute of a behavior based system is that the intelligence is controlled by a set of independent semi Wiktionary autonomy autonomous modules. In the original systems, each module was actually a separate peripheral device or was at least conceived of as running on its own processing thread computer science thread . Generally, though, the modules are just abstraction s. BBAI may be seen as a software engineering approach to AI, perhaps akin to object oriented programming object oriented design . BBAI is often associated with reactive planning , but the two are not synonymous. Brooks advocated an extreme version of cognitive minimalism which required initially that the behavior modules were finite state machines and thus contained no conventional memory or learning . This is associated with reactive AI because reactive AI requires reacting to the current state of the world, not to an Intelligent agent agent s memory or preconception of that world. However, learning is obviously key to realistic strong AI , so this constraint has been relaxed, though not entirely abandoned. Researchers currently active in this area include Ronald Arkin who has written a book called behavior based robotics Behavior Based Robotics and Maja Mataric . Former researchers include Brooks, Pattie Maes and Bruce Blumberg . It was p ... more details
