The power of software in the controller determines the usefulness and flexibility of the robot within the limitations of the mechanical design and the ability of the sensors. The robots are classified according to their generation, their level of intelligence, its level of control, and their level of programming language. These ratings reflect the power of software in the controller, in particular, the interaction of sophisticated sensors. The generation of a robot is determined by the historical developments in robotics. Five generations are usually assigned to industrial robots. The third generation is used in industry, the fourth place in research laboratories, and the fifth generation is a great dream.

10 The major differences between brains and computers
May 6th, 2009 | By admin | Category: Latest ResearchAlthough computer-brain metaphor has served well to cognitive psychology, research in cognitive neuro-science has revealed many important differences between brains and computers. Appreciate these differences could be crucial for understanding the neural mechanisms of information processing, and ultimately to create an artificial intelligence. Below,he discuss the most important of these differences (and implications for cognitive psychology, if you fail to recognize).
Difference # 1: The brains are similar, computers are digital
It is easy to think that neurons are essentially binary, as a potential trigger for action if they reach a certain threshold, which otherwise would not shoot. This superficial similarity to the digital 1 and 0 "hides a wide variety of continuous and non-linear processes that directly affect neural processing.
For example, one of the main mechanisms
Robots are able to perform basic driving maneuvers
Apr 23rd, 2009 | By admin | Category: NewsA team of officials from the agency DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) visited a parking lot next to the offices to test the car without a driver from Stanford University, known as Junior, in what has been the first test to qualify for the upcoming Urban Challenge, the third Grand Challenge competition for driverless vehicles in DARPA.
DARPA conducted a series of “home visits” this summer to evaluate 53 potential participants for the Urban Challenge, and check to see if robots are able to perform basic driving maneuvers. Just 15 miles per hour, Junior pass three of the four “missions”, including a change of direction and a stop with four directions and cars driven by humans, but a failed overtaking.
