| Robotics: ckBot Can Walk, Crawl, and Rebuild Itself |
 |
A robot that reconstructs itself after exploding. It sounds like an
unstoppable cyborg played by a certain state governor, but the ckBot
has a long way to go before it can come close to exterminating the
human race.
The ckBot is the brainchild of Mechanical Engineering professor Mark
Yim and Computer Science professor C.J. Taylor. It is a robot that can
walk, crawl and re-assemble itself. It can also rearrange itself to
change how it moves.
Both Yim and Taylor said the ckBot has potential for planetary
exploration and search and rescue work in the event of a building
collapse.

| Chatbots: UK University Holds Loebner Prize Turing Test |
|
First and foremost, we have ditched the black and neon theme we have had for the past few months in favor of a lighter and simpler theme. It is much easier on the eyes. This comes after suggestions from several members here at the Hub. Please feel free to comment on the new theme so that we can modify it to fit you best.
Secondly, we have begin backing up the once popular aboutAI.net website. Articles from that site that are over five years old are being backed up in our articles section. You can check out what we've archived so far by clicking on 'Articles' in the site menu.
We thank all of the loyal member of the AI Hub, and will continue adding content and news to keep you satisfied.

| Government: Emotion-Reading Technology Could Spot Terrorists |
|
One day far in the future, your facial expressions could get you flagged as a terrorism suspect as you stroll past a camera at the airport - or anywhere else.
If so, you could be detained and questioned, thanks to some sophisticated scientific work underway at Concordia University, in a developing science called biometrics.
A computer-imaging system being developed there has been attracting worldwide attention.

| Technology: GirdSURV, India's Intelligent Surveillance System |
|
At a time when India is gripped with dread of terrorist attacks, bomb blasts and the ever-haunting threats on security and life at large, safety of humans and security of properties has become the top priority for government agencies, security forces and even private companies.
GirdSURV, the automated 24x7 real time monitoring system alerts using SMS, phone call, email and other modes when it detects suspicious activity on camera.

| Chatbots: Virsona Chatbots Can Be Anyone, Anything |
|
Over at TechCrunch, the company Virsona is showing off an interesting and customizable chatbot. It makes "virtual personas" for chat. The idea is that you feed it the written works and online resources of a particular persona, and then its chatbot will respond with the appropriate facts and personality.
The demo being previewed was limited (Abraham Lincoln), but the model is good. The revenue model is aimed at getting consumers to interact with branded personas: the Geico gecko, for example. Prolific bloggers might also benefit from a personality surrogate. The more words the bot has to work with, presumably, the more lifelike the persona can be. The company will also offer analytics to its customers.

| Technology: Intel On the Way to Intelligent Computers |
|
At the Intel Developer Forum here, Intel Chief Technology Officer Justin Rattner showed off a number of technologies in computing, robotics, and communication that he cited as evidence that Ray Kurzweil's concept of "singularity," when machine intelligence surpasses human intelligence, is impending. Demonstrations spotlighted the wireless transmission of electrical power, dextrous robots with new sensory abilities, a direct interface to the brain, programmable materials that can be used for shape-shifting devices such as resizable cell phones, and silicon photonics that enables chips to communicate with photons rather than electrons.
"We're making steady progress toward Ray Kurtzweil's singularity," Rattner said.

| Medical: Prostate Cancer Treatment Determined by AI |
|
Prostate cancer is the most widespread type of cancer affecting men and the second most common cause of terminal cancer in the UK.
Despite the prevalence of the disease, very little is known about its direct causes and deciding on a disease management plan for a patient can be difficult.
To address this, a research project being undertaken by the School of Computing at the Robert Gordon University (RGU) in Aberdeen is using artificial intelligence to assist physicians in making their decision.

A British company is working on an artificial intelligence system that examines clouds to find areas in the sky where rising air creates the lift that allows gliders to sustain flight and powered aircraft to prolong their journeys.
The on-board system being developed by Roke Manor Research uses video feeds to collect information about clouds, ground surface conditions and other elements, then crunches the data to develop flight paths that steer gliders toward rising air.

This website was created in memory of the ChatbotFriends website which inspired me to delve deeper into the topic of Chatbots (Chatterbots). I originally started it as a replacement when that site went down, but we have since branched out a lot. We were originally the Chatbot Hub and focused mainly on chatbots but, with the growth of the site, we decided to expand out to other similar aspects of AI and rename ourselves "AI Hub". I hope that all of the visitors can be inspired by what Artificial Intelligence can accomplish.
