Robots are entering daily life in Japan, good, but in USA and EU ? No.
Today building a robot like a rover is not more complex than assembly a new PC. There are a lot
of projects based on mini-itx and linux, and more, but only fews are finished.
Problems are related to software side. Not all folks are able to develop a custom complex software in
artificial vision area or neural networks. Hardware platforms are very differents so build a "big" opensource
software is hard... the problem for me is releated to hardware, it's too closed.
It's hard to find info for building a sensor array, how to connect them via I2C etc... If you are a coder
with no or little knowledge about electronics building a robot is very hard due the lack of "open" on hardware
side... and i don't see an easy solution
What do you think about ?
For me the future is this: There will be a lot of news sources, likes blogs, online journals, and more, and we will use internet web apps that selects news for us.
I'm sure of this. Before a surf a lot of website/blogs a day for IT-related news, and this is very time consuming. Then i found this web application www.devsapiens.com that make the job for me! I open the browser, point to my favourite channel ( http://www.devsapiens.com/en/channel/linux , take a look) and all news i need is at my fingerprint. Click:)
And all is done by AI, yes artificial intelligence. For me this is the future, A.I. agents that collects news from an infinite sources... i'm near to kurzweil vision...
