August 27, 2003: the day when Mars reached its closest point to Earth in 60,000 years. There was a lot of hype (and hoaxes) around this Mars opposition. I was also preparing for it by making a 12.5” F6 Newtonian. Still a Ph.D. student at the time, I got help from several friends to make … Continue reading A 20 Year Project
Problem-Solving in Robotics?
One of the primary obstacles impeding the widespread application of robotics lies in their lack of problem-solving capabilities. Enabling robots to independently resolve unforeseen situations could facilitate the adoption of autonomous robots in a broad range of applications such as agriculture, healthcare, exploration, and environmental protection. As robot designers or programmers, we have a tendency … Continue reading Problem-Solving in Robotics?
AI Neuroscience and AI Psychology: A New Era in Understanding Artificial Intelligence
As humans, when we encounter concepts or phenomena that we don’t fully understand, we create new disciplines to study and comprehend them. Emergent behaviors, in particular, often baffle us – these are instances where the whole is drastically different from its individual building blocks. We might comprehend the blocks fairly well, but the complex constructs … Continue reading AI Neuroscience and AI Psychology: A New Era in Understanding Artificial Intelligence

When people on Earth don’t understand something, they create new disciplines. A lot of what we don’t understand comes from emergent behaviors, that is, the whole is drastically different than the building blocks. We may know the blocks reasonably well, but not the complex things built with them. For example, economics is a field to … Continue reading AI Neuroscience & AI Psychology?
