What intelligent machines can learn from a school of fish | Radhika Nagpal


br>UCAuUUnT6oDeKwE6v1NGQxug

Science fiction visions of the future show us AI built to replicate our way of thinking — but what if we modeled it instead on the other kinds of intelligence found in nature? Robotics engineer Radhika Nagpal studies the collective intelligence displayed by insects and fish schools, seeking to understand their rules of engagement. In a visionary talk, she presents her work creating artificial collective power and previews a future where swarms of robots work together to build flood barriers, pollinate crops, monitor coral reefs and form constellations of satellites.

  1. The robots in assembling the K seemed kinda controlled in a way that they were numbered incrementally and had a starting/stop time associated with it. Isn't that how its not supposed to be?

  2. We are, as human being, composed of a thousand billion cells, and these cells act together to keep the whole, while some cells live for years and others only a few hours. It's much better than a fish bench!

  3. ….or they actually are teaching military drones in cells of 3 or more how they can work together…. good stuff, now we can finally see swarms.

  4. This is a kind of Tedd talk I've seen before. Interesting talk followed by genetic and boring cause-based lecture.

    Humans obey rules structures right until we don't, which is actually an important part of human individuality. Treating people as a collection of generic workers is literally and figurtively dehumanizing.

  5. The thing is, code or "rules", will never be perfect. The best example would be the concept of coding a robot to keep a house clean. If the owner is the reason the house keeps becoming dirty, the a.i. will subtract the owner from the home (how ever it feels fit) to be able to keep the home clean. The coding would have to be so complex that it would confuse the a.i.. The "rules" would never be perfect, but it would work good enough for many cases.

  6. the next 30 years of technological advancement is going to be MONUMENTAL in the history of Human Beings, barring any man made or nature driven(Divine) extinction level events.
