Jon Udell: Extreme design versus extreme
programming
06/18/2002 08:16 AMI've just returned from the What's Next conference in Brattleboro,
Vermont, where I gave a pair of talks (one on web services, one on
application servers). The keynote speaker for the day was Alan Cooper,
designer of Visual Basic, author of several books, and founder of a
company that specializes in interaction design.
Cooper's view is that the kinds of disasters that have always plagued
the industry -- most recently, the catastrophic outcomes of many CRM
(customer relationship management) systems -- are a result neither of
poor strategy, nor of poor engineering, but of a failure to properly
coordinate the two. The missing piece in his view is product planning
and design, done according to a methodology that Cooper has devised
and that his company practices. This methodology aligns itself with
Colonel John Boyd's OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) loop,
fashionable in military circles.

Beyond Segway
Beyond Segway
11/13/2003 04:02 PMWe've been receiving lots of stories about Segway spin-offs lately.
First, there's the EMBRIO/2025, a
next-generation, one-wheeled personal transporter design from
Bombardier. It's very reminiscent of Syd Mead's gyro-balanced,
one-wheel
designs. No guesses on if or when it could really be
made, however. Jerry D. Elmore sent us a link to several of his
designs
for turning the Segway into a "multi-taskable product" by allowing it
to
double as an automous robot that can perform surveillance or other
duties. And a number of readers pointed out the new Technology
Review article on Cardea, an MIT
robot based on a Segway.

yGlider. Basically an electrically-powered single wheel with a
long handle trailing behind it. You can let it pull you on roller
blades or a skateboard, or attach a wheeled standing platform to it.
It's much lighter and much less complicated than the Segway, and will
likely be cheaper as well. And it goes faster too!
The Swiss manufacturer has a domain, but so far it's under
construction.
This is almost as cool as the new Schwinn Stingray. I want

Segway Becoming a War Robot?
12/02/2003 12:23 AMCTV.ca has an article that says
U.S. considers turning scooters into war robots.Though few could
afford the
$4,000 Segway scooters, Universitys bought them for study and now the
US
millitary wants to enlist them for battlefield missions. Segways have
already
been modified
to open doors and avoid obstacles and such, and now the military wants
to send them out for
search missions, transporting injured soldiers and carrying gear. So
maybe the Segway scooter deserves more of our respect, because even as
President Bush embarrisingly found out, these Segways now have the
potential to do
harm.

01/07/2004 06:34 PMSegway, the massively overhyped balancing scooter company, can't seem
to keep chief executives. Last year we wrote about how they had
already
shuffle
d through a couple of presidents, and now comes the news that
they've hired yet
another new president and CEO, replacing the last one. This one
comes from the snowmobile world, so maybe he's got better ideas for
how to market such a niche vehicle. One of the previous presidents
had come from Subaru and tried to sell the Segway like a car - which
clearly didn't work out so well. Clearly, the company is having a
very difficult time living up to the hype it generated early on.

John Wiseman says:
Regarding Segway robotics, I thought you might be
interested to know that DARPA funded development of a Segway-based
common robotics platform (the "RMP"): Link. A
group at CMU is working on a Robocup robot soccer team using the
Segway RMP: Link. One cool
thing about their work is that it's the first robot soccer team (as
far as I know) that can play with and against humans on the field.
Unfortunately they don't seem to have any images/video of that online;
I saw some video at a conference a few weeks ago.
Random thing #1: I hear there's an upcoming exhibit at the Center
for Land Use Interpretation of video from cameras mounted on sheep,
spiders, tumbleweeds, etc. Sounded cool. Link. Sheep stampede video: Link.

Busted in Tokyo for riding Segway
Busted in Tokyo for riding Segway
02/10/2004 02:51 AMJapan Today
Friday, February
6, 2004 at 14:00 JST
TOKYO - Tokyo police sent papers to prosecutors Thursday on a
businessman over use of the U.S.-made Segway scooter vehicle on a
public road, an unusually strict move that marks the first time in
Japan that police have taken action over people riding the two-wheeled
novelty.
The police allege that the 42-year-old president of an import
company in the capital's Setagaya Ward violated the Road Traffic Law
by having a person drive a Segway on a public road in July last year
for advertising purposes.
Last year I tried to get the
government to relax its regulations to allow people to ride Segways,
but they wouldn't. I gave up the idea. I actually know this guy and he
was insistent that he could build a business importing Segways. I
guess not. This is pretty "unusually strict" but the police hate it
when you make money doing stuff that they don't approve of.

Roland points us to this:
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), working under a
grant from DARPA, are putting humans riding Segway scooters and robots
built on Segway bases on the same soccer team in the hope to encourage
the kind of cooperation that leads to understanding between the both.
Technology Research News has the story. This could lead to autonomous robot
vehicles sharing the roadway with human-driven vehicles or robot
building construction crews. Robots designed for specific applications
could become practical in 5 to 10 years. Robots that interact with
other robots and humans in general applications will take longer -- at
least 20 years. This overview contains additional details and pictures of a
human and a Segway robot playing together.

anaylsis of the technology used to time track and field events. This
is in the news lately because a Jamaican just broke the 100 meter record by .01 seconds. Not a big
margin.
The best systems use a digital camera positioned on the stripe that
marks the finish line. This camera has a very narrow field of view and
records only the thin slice of space directly above the line. As
runners cross the line and into its field of view, the camera takes a
rapid series of time-stamped pictures. These create a composite image
that shows when each athlete passed through the slice and over the
line.

RFIDs Used To Secretly Track Officials
At Tech Summit
12/15/2003 02:26 AMEvery time people write about the potential for RFID chips to be
misused, people come along and say that the possibility of them to be
misused is pretty slim, and people should just calm down. While we
agree that some of the anti-RFID rants have gone a bit overboard, the
threat of the technology being secretly used to track people might not
be so overblown. A report coming out late last week discovered that
b
adges used at the World Summit on the Information Society last week
included RFIDs for tracking attendees. The attendees were
apparently unaware the badges included these chips. The article is a
little confusing, and does raise some questions. First, since the
people who figured this out snuck into the summit, some of the article
focuses on the poor security that let these people get official badges
with fake identification - and the article shifts back and forth
between the two stories as if they're related. The article also
doesn't explain how they determined that there was an RFID chip and
what it was used for. While the article claims that people at the
conference were "tracked" by these chips - it's unclear that's what
actually happened. They seem to indicate that attendees
could have
been tracked - but not that they actually were tracked. Still, it
does point out some of the problems with putting RFID chips in
everything. Perhaps people need to be looking more seriously at
technology that might stop the "bad" aspect of RFIDs, such as
a
blocker chip that lets users only allow specific RFIDs to work
when
they want or need them to.

systems that are supposed to keep track of all of their purchases

for fraud, with plenty of already greedy enough defense contractors
