I just came back from a technical visit to Switzerland where I had the opportunity to visit many different labs relating to machine intelligence, micro and nanofabrication, and optoelectronics. I even got to visit my first synchotron. As a result, of course, I'm completely backed up and have had no time to post. Will try to get my act together next week.
In the meantime, you may be interested in listening to a relatively new podcast called Talking Robots from Dario Floreano at the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at EPFL, one of the places I visited. Floreano's lab was very impressive in its own right: I hope to report on it soon, either here or for another publication. But the podcast is very cool too. Among those interviewed who have impressed me in the past are Rod Brooks (who I've blogged recently), Barbara Webb, and Luc Steels. There are also lots of people I've only vaguely heard of or don't know, so it should be educational for me too.
Hope you enjoy it... do let me know if not. I've only just started to listen.
