Hulleye Comes By!

so for all you ali_g and borat fans out there, indextube has pretty much every clip of his floating around the internats.well most of them anyway. i just saw one of cohen’s appearances on the daily show, and i think it’s the first time i ever seen him give an interview as himself. must have been a really old clip.

weirdly enough, he’s got a cousin named simon baron-cohen who is one of the world’s leading voices of autism research. he is also one of the dozens of scientists who have forecasted science for the next fifty years in today’s edition of scientific american magazine.

It looks like a four-armed starfish, but so far it’s unaware of its own shape. After flailing its arms for a while, however, the robot gets a sense of its design and begins to walk. The real feat comes when engineers remove a part of its leg: The robot senses a change in its structure and begins walking in a different way to compensate. The demonstration is the first proof that a robot can generate a conception of itself and then adapt to damage, a handy skill to have in unpredictable environments.

thanks s.
