Dog bites AIBO

Dog bites AIBO 03/21/2003 10:17 AM
Clive sez:

Many people love showering attention on their Aibos, pretending they're real. But what about actual dogs? Are they fooled? To find out, a bunch of French scientists recently had a few real dogs interact with some Aibos. It all went quite peacefully, until the scientists decided to put a piece of meat in the room and have an Aibo and a dog compete over it. Go to their site and you enjoy what is surely a first in scientific history: Live video of a snarling dog kicking the living shit out of a hapless robot.

The best part is the explanatory note by the scientists: "The horrible screams that you hear at the end of this film were made by the experimenters, who were startled to see the dog attack the AIBO ... we strongly advise you not to try anything similar with your AIBO."

Control Aibo By PSP

Control Aibo By PSP 04/12/2005 11:31 AM

Wireless Watch Japan reports on findings in this week's Famitsu that indicate the Aibo can inadvertently be controlled by the PSP. I'm not sure what is meant by the "inadvertently" part, but I assume that if you actually have an Aibo, you know. Is this because of interference? 802.11b? Can I be really be arrested for spitting on the sidewalk in Singapore? Frankly, this article creates more questions than it answers.

The Curious Aibo

The Curious Aibo 06/17/2005 07:11 PM
IT World has an article about how Sony researchers have created 'curious' Aibos. The researchers put about a dozen Aibos in playpens with balls and after some time the Aibos went from swivelling their legs and heads to wiggling, to being able to crawl and following a ball that had been placed in front of them. The researchers claim that this is open-ended learning and not preprogrammed. The researchers say the key is that these new Aibos have a metabrain which keeps them learning. If their learning isn't going anywhere (bored) it makes them curious to learn new things. The project is not expected to lead to products soon, if at all. The scientists do hope to add more stimuli and let the Aibos learn over longer periods of time to see if they may learn even more.

Attacking Aibo

Attacking Aibo 03/21/2003 12:29 PM

It's like the Turing test, but for dogs: Will a real dog attack one of Sony's Aibo robotic dogs if it thinks that the artificial canine is going after its food? Fortunately, scientists at Sony's Computer Science Lab in Paris are on the case, with the hilarious results caught on videotape, America's Funniest Home Video-style:

The horrible screams that you hear at the end of this film were made by the experimenters, who were startled to see the dog attack the AIBO. This was the first time that the AIBO was attacked, but it was not the last. During the course of the experiment, the AIBO was sometimes knocked over, bitten and chewed. It is still in perfect working order, and shows no visible signs of damage.

Flickr Fun - New TSL Mobl0g

Flickr Fun - New TSL Mobl0g 04/10/2005 12:47 AM

I've had a Flickr account since the service first started, but I've never really used it. I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to set up a new moblog on my own site since TextAmerica no longer offers RSS feeds for free accounts, so now I’m joining all of the cool kids and hanging out on Flickr instead. It will mostly be my moblog, although I may post other pictures down the road. For family and friends, the RSS feed is here and my tags are here. In a way, it’s my own little experiment to see how well I do at adding metadata to my photos online since I’ve been horrible at doing this in the past.

New mobl0g - Thanks Boris and chicgeek! 01/16/2004 11:31 AM

Thanks to Boris and chicgeek for making me a new moblog. I ripped off the "crop it square" look from TypePad and Boris and chicgeek figured out that categories made sense and rewrote the scripts. Boris did the design with his usual magic and chicgeek did the coding. Thanks a lot guys. It looks/works MUCH better. It's officially upgraded from version .2 alpha straight to version 2. ;-)

MoBlog 0.3 (Default branch) 04/11/2005 03:52 AM
MoBlog is a script for mobile blogging using email. All attachments are retained in their attached order. Image attachments will be rendered inline, and other attachments will have a link to the file rendered. It supports the Blogger and MetaWeblog XML-RPC APIs.

Changes:
The program was rewritten in Ruby. Support for running commands against image files (to resize them, for example) was added.

I proposed the idea of using a TextAmerica moblog as a means to document wifi hotspots in an article I wrote for MacMerc.com earlier this year. The response was underwhelming. So now I'd like to offer the service to you folks, the experts in the wardriving community. To post your pics and info, email the images as JPEG attachments, include the name of the location as the email's subject and the specifics of the hotspot in the body of the message and send it to the moblog. I hope you'll make some use of it.

BoingBoing reader Joshua says:

A few weeks ago, I read the post you guys made about MoblogUK, a creative commons licensed alternative to TextAmerica. I'd been searching for an alternative for awhile, so I was pretty excited to find it. After switching I wanted a way to get my images from TextAmerica over to the new site at MoblogUK, so I wrote this app to make the process easy. Besides parsing a TextAmerica moblog and sending the entries off to MoblogUK it can also save your TextAmerica entries locally in an XML/XSL format...in case you ever want to do that for some reason!

Newspaper Opens Up Mobl0g For Readers

Newspaper Opens Up Mobl0g For Readers 01/27/2004 05:18 PM
If you ask people who have been involved in big news stories, they almost always say that the press got it wrong. This leads to a general feeling that the traditional press never gets the full story - which is why there seems to be a constant (and somewhat pointless) argument as to whether or not "blogs" compete with the traditional press. There's room for both - as they serve different purposes. Alan Reiter points out that the San Diego Union-Tribune has apparently signed a deal with textamerica to prov ide moblogs for readers. For those who don't keep up with this stuff, moblogs are blogs with content (often pictures) sent in from mobile phones. This is a pretty big step, though it might not seem like it at first. It's a newspaper admitting that some of its readers may have a better (photographic) take on things that are happening out there than they have themselves. It will be interesting to see how quickly other news sites follow. Of course, as with anything like this, there will be an awful lot of junk that shows up on the moblogs, and many detractors will point to all this as a reason why it's a pointless experiment. However, it's not the junk that's the point - but the few gems that come out of all that junk, and it will help to make people much more involved with the news generating process. The nice thing about blogs is that they provide so much more around the news story: whether it's additional details, opinions or context. Seeing that surrounding a newspaper story could be very interesting as it paints a much more complete picture of what happened. Of course, if newspapers really wanted to get people involved, why focus on just moblogging? Why not offer full blogging capabilities to readers?

Jason Calacanis, founder of Venture Reporter, Silicon Alley Reporter, Weblogs Inc., etc., blogs thusly< /a>:

Phil [Kaplan] (aka PUD) of FuckedCompany.com fame has started an anonymous moblogging project. Basically you send your photo to pics@mobog.com and a minute later they are on his site ready for users to make comments on them.

Jeff Jarvis calls it anonymous instant photophone moblogging, a phrase which is giving me a heavy wallop of jargon vertigo right about now.

Mars mobl0g: amazing photos beamed home

Now *that* is a photoblog. Chronologically indexed gallery of interplanetary snapshots from this weekend's Mars landing. The first images sent back are of limited quality -- and only in black and white -- because data transmission rate from Spirit's antenna back to Earth is limited. Higher-res color images are expected to be relayed back from the orbiting Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey Spacecraft later today, according to Mission Control. At left:

"This mosaic image taken by the navigation camera on the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit has been further processed, resulting in a significantly improved 360 degree panoramic view of the rover on the surface of Mars."
