MEDAL Blogging

Several days ago mensnewsdaily published an article RoboBusiness: Robots that Dream of Being Better on the work of Peter Nordin and his colleagues at iRobis who use genetic programming in robotics. See also this post by Dave Goldberg at IlliGAL Blogging. A brief quote from the article:

On the last day of the RoboBusiness Conference in Boston, something wonderful happened. Institute of Robotics in Scandinavia (iRobis) introduced robotic imagination. I don’t mean imaginative robot designs. I mean; robots that imagine. And by imagine, I don’t mean simply creating images in a simulator. I mean imagination as part of reasoning and problem solving.
…
Basically, if you know how to tell robots what you want them to do, and they are physically capable of doing it, and they have a way of determining how well they are doing it; they can develop the ability to do it.
