CREEPY BUT REAL. iBionics. Insect Cyborgs NEW! Our recent paper on roach-bots in IEEE EMBC and the related video PLEASE FOR A BRIEF HISTORY of OUR PUBLICATIONS Controlled by neurons, muscles are the micro-mechanical actuators of the body. Throughout history, humans have indirectly benefited from the muscle power of animals around them to build various civilizations. To achieve this goal, we presented a novel surgical procedure at Cornell University to insert artificial implants into insects at early stages of metamorphosis (Figure 1). Figure 1: Summary of the EMIT procedure Sample movie PLEASE CLICK HERE or FOR A SAMPLE MOVIE The EMIT procedure has opened an alternative window for neural-engineers to explore the details of insect flight neurodynamics and its control by allowing the implantation of various micro devices through a simple surgery with minimal or no resulting tissue damage.

Who Goes There?

Is a science fiction novella by John W. Campbell, Jr., written under the pen name Don A. Stuart. It was first published in the August 1938 Astounding Science-Fiction. In 1973 the story was voted by the Science Fiction Writers of America as one of the finest science fiction novellas ever written. Plot summary[edit] SCREAMERS. The Body Snatchers. The Body Snatchers is a 1955 science fiction novel by Jack Finney, originally serialized in Colliers Magazine in 1954, which describes the fictional town of Santa Mira, California, being invaded by seeds that have drifted to Earth from space.

The Body Snatchers

The seeds replace sleeping people with perfect physical duplicates grown from plantlike pods, while their human victims turn to dust. The duplicates live only five years, and they cannot sexually reproduce; consequently, if unstopped, they will quickly turn Earth into a dead planet and move on to the next world. One of the duplicate invaders suggests that this is what all humans do; use up resources, wipe out indigenous populations, and destroy ecosystems in the name of survival.

Doom 3: Phobos mod

More than a whole year. So why has it been so long? To start off, it has been a very eventful year for the members of the team. People have been moving, buying a new house, there have been tragedies. We started by planning out how the workflow would be. So does the mention of E1M4 mean we have finished 4 maps for the second phase? As of this devblog, we are in the finishing stages of E1M3, that soon makes it 2 levels in the 2nd Phase bank. We don’t have a lot of manpower for this vision though, as times are rough for Doom 3 modding in general and our team specifically.

While we make progress every day and all-in-all our work rate is really good, we would benefit greatly from new talent. Emerging technologies. An emerging technology (as distinguished from a conventional technology) is a field of technology that broaches new territory in some significant way, with new technological developments.

Emerging technologies

Examples of currently emerging technologies include educational technology, information technology, nanotechnology, biotechnology, cognitive science, robotics, and artificial intelligence.[1] New technological fields may result from the technological convergence of different systems evolving towards similar goals. Convergence brings previously separate technologies such as voice (and telephony features), data (and productivity applications) and video together so that they share resources and interact with each other, creating new efficiencies.

Phobos Mission. International project PHOBOS was devoted to the investigations of Mars and its satellites.

Phobos Mission

Two interplanetary probes were launched in 1988, one of them had reached the Phobos and carried out some experiments before it was lost. The on-board video spectrometric system (VSK) was created by international cooperation of the scientific and industrial facilities from the USSR, Bulgaria and GDR. The system has provided 3 spectral bands TV observations, spectral analysis of the images, and the navigation of the probe to the satellite surface.

TV data were processed by the international team, including the USSR, Bulgaria, Germany, Finland, Great Britain and USA scientists. The basic steps of data acquisition and preprocessing were performed in IKI using the image processing computer system, based on PDP11/40 compatible host. Some image processing results are shown below. These images are for the presentation only, but not for scientific analysis! Back to lab's home page.
