Strideo The struggle between robots and monkeys. ________________________________________ posted by gak on 2003 October 14 23.01. the eternal divide between robots and monkeys keeps ebbing and flowing. some days, you think they can co-exist beautifully. other days, you expect a full-out war. let's see where the battlelines are as of late. progress: monkey brains used to control robotic arms. researchers at duke university medical centre were able to implant a mechanism in a monkey's brain that allowed the primate to move a robot arm using its thoughts. this could lead to a breakthrough for paralyzed people....or evil monkey cyborgs. retreat: primate ignores swooning robot. scientists at waseda university in japan had built a robot with explicit facial features such as large eyes and swarthy eyelashes in an attempt to have a monkey bond with it. however, the monkey was visibly bored and uninterested in connecting with this robot, setting the cause back substantially. this impasse is not large, but every day feels as though the gap between monkey-robot relations becomes wider. ________________________________________ from: http://www.sauna.org/monkey/archives/cat_monkeynews.html ... 031113 ... gwyllynne we can take the monkeys we can take the robots but not when they work together!!!!! 031114 ... why not ? 050103 ... minnesota_chris often I am both...
