I wrote this book because I wanted to learn more about interstel lar flight. Not the Star Trek notion of tearing around the Galaxy in a huge spaceship-that was obviously beyond existing tech nology-but a more realistic mission. In 1989 I had videotaped Voyager 2's encounter with Neptune and watched the drama of robotic exploration over and over again. I started to wonder whether we could do something similar with Alpha Centauri, the nearest star to the Sun. Everyone seemed to agree that manned flight to the stars was out of the question, if not permanently then for the indefinitely foreseeable future. But surely we could do something with robotics. And if we could figure out a theoretical wa...
In a 1951 lecture Turing, Alan (1951), Turing argued, "It seems probable that once the machine thinking method had started, it would not take long to outstrip our feeble powers. There would be no question of the machines dying, and they would be able to converse with each other to sharpen their wits. At some stage therefore we should have to expect the machines to take control, in the way that is mentioned in Samuel Butler's Erewhon." Also in a lecture broadcast on the BBC (Turing, Alan 1951). He expressed the opinion: "If a machine can think, it might think more intelligently than we do, and then where should we be? Even if we could keep the machines in a subservient position, for instance ...
"This book focuses on human-computer interaction related to the innovation and research in the design, evaluation, and use of innovative handheld, mobile, and wearable technologies in order to broaden the overall body of knowledge regarding such issue"--Provided by publisher.
What are Cyborgs A cyborg is a being that possesses both biological and biomechanical bodily parts. The term "cyborg" is a portmanteau that combines the words "cybernetic" and "organism." Manfred Clynes and Nathan S. Kline are credited with having first conceptualized the word in the year 1960.

What Is Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms The Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm, also known as ACO, is a probabilistic technique for addressing computational problems in the fields of computer science and operations research. These problems can be boiled down to the task of finding good paths through graphs. The behavior of natural ants served as inspiration for the development of multi-agent systems, which are represented by artificial ants. The communication of biological ants through the use of pheromones is frequently the major paradigm that is adopted. Combinations of artificial ants and local search algorithms have become the technique of choice for several optimization tasks involvin...
What Is Silent Speech Interface The term "silent speech interface" refers to a technology that enables communication through speech without the need of the sound that is produced when humans vocalize their speech sounds. In this sense, it can be thought of as a form of electronic lip reading. The computer is able to determine the phonemes that a person pronounces based on information about their speech motions and other non-auditory sources of information about those movements. After that, speech synthesis is utilized to reproduce the speech based on these components.
