I think that the AI would be able to jump around and that it would have access to various other AI like functions like vision, planning, scheduling, communication that reside on the system that it is interacting with. However, its behavior, decision making, goals, history, higher-level learning ability would be part of itself. Therefore, it would interface… Continue reading Agent-Robot Interaction and app idea

Antiviruses and Cancer
Well I diagnosed myself with an URI (upper respiratory infection I finished the initial 3 day first phase and am in the second phase). Meaning I have a virus. Most likely it is a Rhinovirus. So, I was thinking about how to remove it… I first thought of changing the cells so that they have some… Continue reading Antiviruses and Cancer
Neural net idea
Well this is a merging of neural networks from computer science and actual neuroscience. So, the idea probably doesn’t entirely meld. I was reading a while back how Google was studying neural nets and they learned that they were able to pick any random number of neurons and use them as the output rather than… Continue reading Neural net idea
Ethics of Self-driving cars
Well I just read something pretty disturbing that GM for 10 years basically hid the fact that the ignition system was faulty and can cause the car to stall, leaving the passengers with no airbags. (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/engineers-switch-hell-began-gm-recall-woes-071538074–finance.html) Ethically how are selfdriving/autonomous cars and the software in them going to do better? It is already known that… Continue reading Ethics of Self-driving cars
Large MAS app. Parking lots
So the idea is that parking lots and local walmarts are not going to be able to afford remaking their parking lots so that when we have autonomous cars we can get dropped off at the door and the robot park somewhere and then pick us up at the entrance. This is because structurally there… Continue reading Large MAS app. Parking lots
Secure Task Allocation Scheme
In the future the robots that are being used will most likely be common enough that anyone could purchase one and given enough knowledge infiltrate a system of robots. Currently the level of security in task allocation methods for robots is like that of communication of localization data between large ships, nonexistent. Methods for attack:… Continue reading Secure Task Allocation Scheme
Fuzzy Teams (3/3/14)
I wrote this on a forum for a class I had. I was thinking about framing team membership with fuzzy sets. 1. Need a good way to keep up-to-date on how likely each of the other agents are part of your team 2. How to tell how others perceive you being in particular teams. The… Continue reading Fuzzy Teams (3/3/14)
Google glass idea
I sitting at a counter watching the cook make the orders. For each item he would have to look back at the slip of paper with what to make next. This seems like the perfect situation to have google glass. The orders would appear on the google glass in an optimized order and allow the… Continue reading Google glass idea
Dynamic lane reversal and Braess’ Paradox
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~pstone/Papers/bib2html-links/ITSC11-hausknecht.pdf Dynamic Lane Reversal in Traffic Management Peter Stone et al. This paper is very interesting. Based on my recent learning about the Price of Anarchy and Braess’ paradox I wonder why their method works. Certainly it is an immediate solution. However, I would imagine that as people learn the system it would degrade and… Continue reading Dynamic lane reversal and Braess’ Paradox
Future generations
One day kids won’t be able to say to there parents “Can I stay up until I finish this page” ebooks don’t have pages. Just read xkcd and saw http://xkcd.com/1411/.
