MIURO - dancing robot
back to tekk-mode ^^
I read this a few days ago on the Hightech News section in the AF website:
TOKYO - A Japanese robot twists and rolls to music from an iPod in an intricate dance based on complex mathematics, a technology developers say will enable robots to move about spontaneously instead of following preprogrammed motions.

my comment:
i didn't get how the algorithm works. didn't fully understand chaotic itinerancy (K.Kaneko, I.Tsuda). so, from the demo and the little stuff i found on the net (it's hard to find an explanation of this concept!), it sounds like random movement in a limited manner. but at times the 3 bots moved in the same way, so doesn't that make the set of possible actions countable ? therefore somehow predictable?
i wonder wut they used as attractors..
the search-for-more-info process is still running quietly in the background ^^ i'm curious to better understand how chaotic itinerancy works (without too much complicated physics terms and theorems.. i can handle only so much physix all at once ^^)
