The idea of collective mind is vere interesting. The first thing which comes to my mind after watching the video is using tiny robots for fast prototyping (like 3D printers). Taking thousands of small robots and make them to form some particular object it's thrilling idea. It would be a lot faster that building such a protoype in conventional way and what's more the robots would be reusable. Ted talks shown much more creative way to use the collective mind approach. I really like the idea and I hope they will be successful in future imporvent and development of it.
I’ve heard something similar to topic present on ted’s speech connected with this. It’s a type of algorithm, which simulates the flocking behaviour of birds. More information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boids. Let’s get back to video. I’d like to use such a programmed robots as a my personal room cleaner. Step by stop, corner by corner to make ma room so clean that it’ve never been so much! But, to be serious the idea of building the water reservoir is very impressive and also other presented ideas is so important to us, as a help for us, people in hard situations. I think it’s a very interesting idea for the development of robotics, but it’s also scary. I’am afraid of the future. How will it be look like? We’ll be completely useless because robots takes our seats?
Great idea. I've heard of it before, but only as an idea. I didn't know anyone was actually working on it and i think it's great that we as humans pursue these ideas. Ideas mentioned in the video are great, but what if someone started building an army of weaponised AI hive-minded robots, walking or flying doesn't really matter. I'm not saying we are in any sort of trouble but considering all the implications of AI should be a priority.
I agrree with Jacek. Generally it is a great idea. Howerver if people will use AI for crime and non moral controling other persons or hacking self-driving cars that AI will happen the most strongest weapon for war.
AI working collectively is actually a pretty good idea on solving problems that involve interaction with real-life objects. Let's think of and idea of making robotic arm grab things of different types and sizes. Teaching it to grab every thing we can think of could take a lot of time, provided we want to give it a try at least few times per object type for arm to learn. It's due to the fact that arm needs to actually grab the thing. If we can scale it horizontally with numerous robotic arms, we can achieve pretty decent (ie. low) error rate in acceptable period of time. Actually, Google have been on a project like this. It's a common concept for other companies too. One of them even shared the process of setting up environment for such arms in smaller scale on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBFwe1gF0FU I can recall project on making quadcopters (or drones, can't recall) coordinate themselves together when flying in a flock. When they had not enough data, they would ask the flock. They would also move out of the way of other drone when prompted and collaborate together with catching objects into nets in the air. I can't find any good materials about that but I'm pretty sure Jacek might know something about this as he's into quadcopters. :)
Using colletive inteligent machines is grea idea especially for contruction buildings. I believe in future people would be able build tiny machines maybe even nano who could cooperate and do a lot of stuff. Like repair something or used in medicine. Now it sounds like it's from Lem book but we will see what future bring.
Seems like a brilliant idea! An ant, a robot, doesn’t matter - you can do so much more cooperating. First area that comes to my mind is constructing.. But why not use them in farming? Just think about hundreds of robots harvesting apples together ☮
I think they have very interesting ideas of connecting Artificial Intelligence robots with some of features, which belongs to nature. They ideas for building sounds very very interesting. I wish to see it in future, but scientist must have money for that achievement.
Such machines are definitely the future. The first thing I thought was self-driving Elona musk's cars. ;) The greats of this world like Stephen Hawking have a lot of fears about intelligent machines, but I think if you create them and their algorithms on the basis of which they 'think' the priority should be to take care of our security.
I use such a machine for vacuuming ;) It learns the plan of my apartment and on the basis of this cleaning better and better.
I think one of the biggest challenges in multi agent systems and collective intelligence is medicine and nano technology right now. On one side of course we can use robots to build structures, monitor crops etc. but having them use in human body in nano scale give real opportunities that can change man kind, cure each decease, increase the strength and improve human lives.
Very interesting thing. I’ve never heard about swarm robotics. Simple robots can perform big thing together providing better world for us. They can be used during rescue actions or on the construction site. This idea derives the greatest from the nature. I heard that approach is called biomimicry. Observing natural environment to find solution for tech problems. I’m wondering what would be the next nature-inspired revolutionary discovery.

ReplyDeleteI think basic income could resolve this problem.
