David Pescovitz: Following previous posts on Sunjit the Chicken Man and An drei the Dog Boy, several BB readers emailed me their favorite references to wild children raised by animals. For example, this site talks about France's Wild Boy of Averyon, "a remarkable creature (who) came out of the woods" in 1800. The text comes from a great book called The Forbidden Experiment: The Story of the Wild Boy of Aveyron, by Roger Shattuck. Here is one naturalist's observations of the Wild Boy:

"When he is sitting down, and even when he is eating, he makes a guttural sound, a low murmur; and he rocks his body from right to left or backwards and forwards, with his head and chin up, his mouth closed, and his eyes staring at nothing. In this position he sometimes has spasms, convulsive movements that may indicate that his nervous system has been affected. There is nothing wrong with the boy’s five senses, but their order of importance seemed to be modified. He relies first on smell, then on taste; his sense of touch comes last. His sight is sharp; his hearing seems to shut out many sounds people around him pay close attention to. Nothing interests him but food and sleep."

BB reader Andy Scudder also points us to a transc ript of a NOVA documentary called "Secret of the Wild Child." And then Alberto Gaitan sends us to FeralChildren .com a comprehensive clearinghouse of information on "isolated, confined, wolf and wild children." Perhaps it's time for a big screen remake of the 1977 TV series Lucan?

ETECH Notes: Feral Robotics and Some
Other Quacking, Shaking, Bubbling Robots 03/17/2005 03:55 AM
Cory Doctorow: Here are my notes from Natalie Jeremijenko's So cial Robotics, Scmocial Robotics: Feral Robotics and Some Other Quacking, Shaking, Bubbling (what would the opposite of feral be?) Robots, at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego.

Natalie is a genuine cyberpunk heroine, whose hacks include hacking robot toy dogs into feral volatile organic compound sensors; setting up voicemail boxes you can call when you want to record your interactions with Homeland Security coppers, and surreptitiously filming jumpers off the Golden Gate bridge.

Feral Robotic Dogs: It's a website. Everything reduces to a website. A couple years old, dates back to the launch of the Sony Aibo. One in a series of interactive toys that express behaviors programmed in our labs -- they're fun and interesting and sci-fi-ey. But what do you learn from them? You learn construction from construction toys, monopolization from Monopoly. What do you learn from interactive toys? Interaction?

These toy dogs out of the box beg for bones or sing the national anthem.

I became interested in this when someone said to me that a robot dog would make a good pet for me -- what does that say about my capacity to care for living things? What might we learn from these things? What do we need to learn from these things.

Here's the website (xdesign.ucsd.edu/feralrobots) with instructions for upgrading the raison d'être of your robot dogs.

Warning label: OUT THERE IN HAPPY FAMILY HOMES IN THE OFFICE OF CORPORATE EXECS, IN TOY STORES THROUGHOUT THE GLOBE IS AN ARMY OF ROBOTIC DOGS. THESE REMI-AUTONOMOUS ROBOT CREATURES, THOUGH CURRENTLY PROGRAMMED TO PERFORM INANE OR ENTERTAINING TASKS, ARE ACTUALLY FULLY MOTILE AND AWAITING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.

Engadet reports on Aiwa's new ¥15,000 headphones, which can take standard audio input and play it through and/or record it as an MP3 to its built-in 128MB of memory. It's a great idea, and I can think of a million things I would love to use them for, from recording tracks off vinyl records to the air-traffic control chatter on Channel 12 on United flights. Link

The school hopes to eventually have about 600,000 books in their system for check out. (Other colleges also have installed simlar devices.) The high tech library building will cost about $33 million. I don't think they have such a cool robotic librarian at my old alma matter. :-/
