Answers to Your Questions in Technology and Engineering

BIOLOGY COMPUTES
Scientists and researchers from the fields of biology and
computing are exploring connections between the two sciences
that could lead to a better understanding of living creatures and to
advanced computers that handle information in a similar manner
as animals and humans.  Shawn Lockery and researchers at the
University of Oregon's Institute of Neuroscience have created a
worm robot, or "biobot" that is programmed to "think" and act
like a round worm searching for food.  Instead of sniffing levels
of chemical concentrations to find food as an actual round worm
would do, the worm robot detects a range of light intensities.
Round worms have neuron signaling far more powerful than the
computing used by desktop computers, and the worm robot could
lead to computers that better adapt to changing conditions and
component failures.  Meanwhile, a group of researchers at Case
Western Reserve University in Cleveland are working on a robotic
hexapod, resembling a cockroach, and robots similar to crickets
and ants have been developed at European universities.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
and IBM are working to develop affective computers that can
detect a user's emotional state and modify its reactions to suit
individual preferences.  Roz Picard of MIT says her project is
motivated by the belief that computers should adapt themselves to
humans, rather than the other way around.  The IBM and MIT teams
are both experimenting with a variety of detection systems, from
fundamental audio-visual devices to sensors that work like lie
detectors to ascertain a person's emotional state using such
signs as heart and breathing rates.  Although changes in emotion
register, the valence of the emotion does not, making it
impossible for the computers to distinguish between, for example,
love and hate because they exhibit similar physiological effects.
The MIT group's system correctly discerns patterns of emotional
response 80 percent of the time, but the array of sensors
necessary for the computer to read the user's emotions is
burdensome.  Some suggest embedding sensors into things such as
belts and bracelets, but IBM researchers are taking a more subtle
tack by embedding sensors in the mouse. (New Scientist 05/08/99)
