Our most powerful 21st-century technologies - robotics, genetic engineering, and nanotech - are threatening to make humans an endangered species. By Bill Joy From the moment I became involved in the creation of new technologies, their ethical dimensions have concerned me, but it was only in the autumn of 1998 that I became anxiously aware of how great are the dangers facing us in the 21st century. I can date the onset of my unease to the day I met Ray Kurzweil, the deservedly famous inventor of the first reading machine for the blind and many other amazing things. Ray and I were both speakers at George Gilder's Telecosm conference, and I encountered him by chance in the bar of the hotel after both our sessions were over. I was sitting with John Searle, a Berkeley philosopher who studies consciousness. While we were talking, Ray approached and a conversation began, the subject of which haunts me to this day. I had missed Ray's talk and the subsequent panel that Ray and John had been on, and they now picked right up where they'd left off, with Ray saying that the rate of improvement of technology was going to accelerate and that we were going to become robots or fuse with robots or something like that, and John countering that this couldn't happen, because the robots couldn't be conscious.

102. Multibody Dynamics Simulation Develops state of the art multibody dynamics simulation programs for the aerospace, automotive, robotics, and biomechanics research and engineering communities. The DynaWiz package can accommodate contact constraints, inverse dynamics, and flexible body effects. http://www.concurrent-dynamics.com/

CDI Services Search Download At Concurrent Dynamics... we develop Multibody Dynamics Simulation MDS programs to simulate the dynamics and control of multi-bodied mechanisms and ground/air-borne vehicles. Our dynamics simulators model any tree-configured mechanism ranging from a simple pendulum to an orbiting space station. They are designed to let you Assess Mechanical System Concept Feasibility Optimize Vehicle/Mechanism Design and Their Control System Verify and Test Control Software Analyze Mechanical or Control System Failure With Speed, Precision, and Results The Equations of Motion in our MDS programs are derived by Lagrangian formulation for forward and inverse dynamics. They accommodate contact constraints, prescribed motion, rigid and flexible body dynamics. They are solved by O(n^3) methods and by recursive O(n) methods, where n=degree of freedom of the plant. [The O(n) versions accommodate rigid body dynamics only at this time. Another O(n) version is being developed to simulate systems with both rigid/flex member bodies.] We have the Dynawiz1.dll

Frontios - The Open Research Project Research is often funded by governments or industry which does so for their own political objectives. This mean that there can be a number of good projects undertaken but it can also mean that a number of good projects (on scientific grounds) are not undertaken because they do not fit into the profile of the funding bodies. If you have an idea for a project, or you are working on a project that you would like help on or even have a project you would like to suggest send an email to us at frontios_at_telia.com

SEARCH Metin Sitti TITLE Assistant Professor AREAS Micro/Nano-Robotics, Nanotechnology, MEMS/NEMS, and Bionanotechnology DEGREES WEBPAGE Personal Homepage RI Homepage PHONE FAX EMAIL msitti@andrew.cmu.edu ADDRESS Carnegie Mellon University Department of Mechanical Engineering 315 Scaife Hall 5000 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Professor Sitti's research is focused on the development of micro- and nanoscale robotic and manufacturing systems for novel manufacturing, analysis, and control tools at the micro- and nanoscales by integrating robotics, nanotechnology, MEMS, and biotechnology fields. The other main motivation is to contribute to the understanding and controlling of adhesion and friction at the nanoscale. In my Nanorobotics Lab , we use a system level approach where a micro- and nanoscale system is designed, manufactured and controlled for a specific application in an overall perspective. The first key component of our approach is micro/nano-mechatronic design that involves novel micro- and nanoscale actuators, sensors, mechanisms, and controls specific to the application. Secondly, we utilize micro/nano-physical modeling for improved understanding of the system with preliminary simulations and experimental tests. Automatic or teleoperated control and human-machine interfacing of the nano world to the macro world are also implemented for reliable and repeatable tasks. Finally, we are interested to utilize biomimetic principles in nature so that we could adapt smart, multifunctional, sub-optimal, and adaptive mechanisms, actuators, materials, and structures in nature to the engineering problems at the nanoscale.
