In this final Science Fiction Prototyping column, editor Brian David Johnson looks back while hinting at what's to come. The web extra at https://youtu.be/lZW2O5M9qVE is an audio recording of editor Brian David Johnson expanding on his final Science Fiction Prototyping column.
Science Fiction Prototyping column editor Brian David Johnson sits down with eight-year-old Cole to imagine a robot when he least expects it--on vacation. The Web extra at http://youtu.be/hltHbW8Q22s is an audio interveiw in which author Brian David Johnson sits down with eight-year-old Cole to imagine a robot when he least expects it--on vacation.
As part of the 21st Century Robot project, a team from Intel collaborated with three middle school students, helping them design and build their own unique robots. The Web extra at http://youtu.be/HMhQbofhzdo is an audio podcast in which author Brian David Johnson expands on his column, sitting down with Sandy Winkelman, his creative partner and illustrator of the 21st Century Robot stories, to discuss...
Using science fiction based on science fact to prototype the human, cultural, ethical, and legal implications of early-stage research and technology allows us to envision possible futures, and to explore their effects so that we can then build them.
Science fiction prototypes are a great tool for bringing research to life, and they do a much better job of communicating the science and vision of the work than the rather dry treatment of an academic text.
Motion planning of deformable objects is challenging due to the high degrees-of-freedom inherent in deformation as well as the computational cost of producing physically accurate deformations. This paper develops a method for fast, physically plausible deformations using a sampling-based planner in a reduced dimensionality configuration space containing position, orientation, and a reduced deformation...
