Media Files==== robotics ==== 'And what about basking in the divine light? Certainly if we take a reductionistic view that mystical illumination is just a bath of intoxicating brain chemicals, then there seems to be no reason that machines couldn't occasionally be nudged into exceptional states as well. But I prefer to suppose that mystical experiences involve an objective union with a higher level of mind, possibly mediated by offbeat physics such as quantum entanglement, dark matter, or higher dimensions. Might a robot enjoy these true mystical experiences? Based on my studies of the essential complexity of simple systems, I feel that any physical object at all must be equally capable of enlightenment. As the Zen apothegm has it, "The universal rain moistens all creatures." So, yes, I now think that robots can see God.' -- [[Rudy Rucker]] ==== related Nodes ==== * [[Artificial Intelligence]] * [[Dynamic Systems]] * [[Artificial Life]] * [[Genetic Programming]] * [[SciArt]] * [[Biomimicry]] * [[Flying Robot]] * [[Swimming Robot]] * [[Modular Robotics]] * [[Motion Tracking]] * [[Robot Building]] * [[Evolutionary Robotics]] * [[Swarm Robotics]] * [[Artificial Life Bibliography]] * [[Computer Science]] * [[Simpets]] ==== random ==== * cocroach controlled > http://conceptlab.com/roachbot/ * http://kaspar.feis.herts.ac.uk/Please fill all the letters into the box to prove you're human.
