In order to pay some homage to my original Computer Engineering background, I have to share this great article by ArsTechnica on how robots think – Ars Technica article

While taking an example on DARPA mobile robots (which further relates personally to me as my final project in college was a robo-mouse), the article evolve on the nitty gritty detail on sensory input processing and its relation to the reaction. It also dwelve deeper into the logic algorithm of decision making process (probabilities and chance elimination formulas) as well as decision-action processing (that is, what exactly and how does one executes one’s decision); spiced with a little of marginal error correction logic.

I guess what intrigues me most is relating how a visual and other sensory inputs are treated by an artificial intelligence, with human reaction to similar inputs. Felt like we’re so close to inventing an AI as advanced as the soul, yet so far. Charming, really.
