A Robot Learns To Fly
jerkychew writes: "For those of you that read my last post about the robot escaping its captors, there's more news regarding robots and AI. According to this Reuters article, scientists in Sweden created a robot that essentially 'learned to fly' in just three hours. The robot had no preprogrammed instructions on how to achieve lift, it had to deduce everything through trial and error. Very interesting stuff."
First Post :-)
To declare war on Iraq would be the most stupid thing to do. Because :
1/ Iraq would use its nuclear weapons, just because of this, they don't have a good enough reason yet, don't give them one.
2/ What do you want to attain by that ? Replace Saddam ? with another one like him ? The USA has placed Saddam there USA LEADERS ARE HYPOCRITS THAT ENDANGER THE WHOLE OF THE PLANET Or is there an election coming up ? A 2-party system is no democracy.
Yes, I'm left. You have a problem with that?
Hello Clitty. Me rikey poontang !
true, america has gone nuts since bush junior is in power to press the button. well, it was nuts before but bill clinton's intelligence somewhat compensated it. bush ruins the world-wide economy - instability is poison for the markets.
usa could do so many better things. see sweden for example. they do not start wars and they do not destroy things. they build things and they do research in areas where still a lot of research has to be done. getting robots which can teach themselves how to fly is a great thing!
by the way: this post is NOT offtopic!
When the talking mice get ahold of these, we're screwed.

I'm not a GA researcher, so I'm sure there's at least one error in my posts on this topic.

Nope, no sig
Test it's real inteeligence. Tell it to do something we can't currently do. Tell it to create time travel, or travel faster than the speed of light without destroying itself, or TELEPORT!
when one is flying, isnt an error a crash?
People who think they know everything really piss off those of us that actually do.
That's because you are ignorant, gullible dipshits that don't have enough initiative to question the preacher.
Furthermore, your sig and post are in quandry.
And get that thing out of your sister's mouth.
Yeah... everybody jump on the Karma bandwagon!
