Main / Home Page Physical Computing is an approach to learning how humans communicate through computers that starts by considering how humans express themselves physically. In this course, we take the human body as a given, and attempt to design computing applications within the limits of its expression. If you're using the physical computing shop at ITP, welcome.

Ralph Mosher 1978 – ARMS 1 (Atmospheric Roving Manipulator System) As early as 1971, Dr. Norman H. Wood, program engineer for General Electric's Cybernetic Automation & Mechanization Systems Section, described a new underwater manipulator system devised for use on a multi-well submerged platform. GE's activities in manipulators date back to the company's nuclear power development and space projects. … Read More “1978 – ARMS 1 – Oceaneering (American)” Underwater Army Bases and Depot (See Figure 51: Under Sea Mobility) Recent marine biology and ocean engineering work have resulted in some startling underwater activity concepts and systems designs that promise to pave the way to a profitable exploitation of untapped water resources.

Microbial Food Cells Arduino - SmartSurfaces Arduino Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing). Why Arduino? There are many other microcontrollers and microcontroller platforms available for physical computing. Inexpensive - Arduino boards are relatively inexpensive compared to other microcontroller platforms. Cross-platform - The Arduino software runs on Windows, Macintosh OSX, and Linux operating systems. Open source and extensible hardware - The Arduino is based on Atmel's ATMEGA328 and ATMEGA168 microcontrollers. Links
My Beebot Le Site des Robots, de la Robotique, des Exosquelettes et de leu Rob Faludi why training a.i. isn’t like training your pets When we last looked at a paper from the Singularity Institute, it was an interesting work asking if we actually know what we’re really measuring when trying to evaluate intelligence by Dr. Shane Legg. While I found a few points that seemed a little odd to me, the broader point Dr. Legg was perusing was very much valid and there were some equations to consider. However, this paper isn’t exactly representative of most of the things you’ll find coming from the Institute’s fellows. Generally, what you’ll see are spanning philosophical treatises filled with metaphors, trying to make sense out of a technology that either doesn’t really exist and treated as a black box with inputs and outputs, or imagined by the author as a combination of whatever a popular science site reported about new research ideas in computer science.

Tiny Robotic Bee Assembles Itself Like Pop-Up Book | Wired Enterprise Harvard has built tiny robots using the principles of origami (Photo: Harvard Microrobotics Laboratory) Harvard University engineers have come up with a production technique inspired by pop-up books and origami, that allows clones of tiny robots to be mass-produced in sheets. Pratheev Sreetharan and colleagues at the Harvard Microrobotics Laboratory have been working on bio-inspired robots that are about the same size as a bee, can fly and can work autonomously as a robotic colony. But actually building the little blighters was a painstaking and error-prone process, as the engineers manually folded, aligned and secured each of the minuscule joints. [partner id="wireduk"] “You’d take a very fine tungsten wire and dip it in a little bit of superglue,” says Sreetharan in a press release. With the new method the engineers don’t just fabricate the robot, but also produce a surrounding “assembly scaffold” that’s attached to the bee-bot by tiny hinges. –Mark Brown
