  1. Bionic Eyes For Bionic Brains by Mentifex · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Such extraordinary ceramic photocells are potentially the building blocks of the artificially intelligent Cyborg -- only now coming of age as robotics and massively parallel processing (MPP) and Good Old-Fashioned True Artificial Intelligence march together into the Technological Singularity of an unpredictable future.

    Carver Mead saw it coming as he built an artificial retina, but for a long time the intractable problem of computer vision held up the design of the AI Mind that started out in Forth for robots and has meanwhile branched out into Visual Basic Mind.VB and into Java-based Mind.JAVA AI.

    These National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Bionic Eyes are just the thing for outfitting AI robots with Machine Vision in a new Manhattan Project to create Artificial Intelligence. Slashdotters ought to see here not only the chance of an individual lifetime but the chance of lifetime-trajectory of an entire species -- humanity, that is -- gathering up all these parts (Bionic Eyes) and theory and Open Source AI code and proceeding to assemble our successor life-form. We have the technology -- we can make it better, faster, stronger.... Only crazy AI geeks need apply.... Put your Bionic Ears to the ground and hear the thundering robot footsteps, then help us, we can't do it alone, we need your brains and your coding skills to take us further beyond where we of limited ability have managed to crawl -- a Bionic Eyes Only message to you from Mentifex.
