    APPENDIX ■ ■ ■ Interview with Mark Tilden (Photo courtesy of WowWee Ltd.) WowWee courtesy of (Photo Figure A-1. Here’s Mark Tilden at the 2005 New York Toy Fair. I have used excerpts from this interview throughout the book where applicable, but I also wanted to print it in its entirety. Some things, like Mark’s wonderful commentary on Hong Kong cuisine and his off-the-cuff comments on everything and anything, just didn’t fit into the structure of The Robosapien Companion, but they will be of interest to anyone who is curious about or admires the man behind the robots. 291 292 APPENDIX ■ INTERVIEW WITH MARK TILDEN This interview was conducted on February 13, 2005, at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse in the Murray Hill neighborhood of midtown Manhattan, in New York City. I recorded it with an Olympus DM-10 voice recorder. The dining room at Wolfgang’s is known for its historic tiled ceilings designed by Raphael Guastavino. They are beautiful, but they are an acoustic night- mare! Fortunately, my trusty DM-10 was up to the task. I have edited this only very lightly, mainly breaks where we spoke to waiters and so on. Also note that during a portion of this interview, Mark is showing me a slideshow on a little portable LCD screen. Most of the pictures from the slideshow ended up in Chapter 3. But if during the interview he seems to be making a reference, chances are it is to something on the screen. Without further ado, here is the full text of the interview.

    FLEET RESEARCH SEMINAR Quantum Nanoscience: Atoms on Surfaces ANDREAS HEINRICH Center for Quantum Nanoscience Ewha Womans University About the Speaker: Heinrich is a world-leading researcher in the field of quantum measurements on Abstract: The scanning tunneling microscope is the atomic-scale in solids. He pioneered spin excitation an amazing tool because of its atomic-scale spatial and single-atom spin resonance spectroscopy with resolution. This can be combined with the use of scanning tunneling microscopes – methods that have low temperatures, culminating in precise atom provided high-resolution access to the quantum states manipulation and spectroscopy with microvolt of atoms and nanostructures on surfaces. Heinrich is energy resolution. In this talk we will apply these fascinated by the world of atoms and nanostructures, techniques to the investigation of the quantum built with atomic-scale precision, and educates the spin properties of magnetic atoms sitting on thin public on nanoscience as demonstrated by the 2013 insulating films. electronic properties by tuning release of the movie “A Boy and his Atom”.

  • Media Ecologies: Materialist Energies in Art and Technoculture, Matthew Fuller, 2005 Media Ecologies
    M796883front.qxd 8/1/05 11:15 AM Page 1 Media Ecologies Media Ecologies Materialist Energies in Art and Technoculture Matthew Fuller In Media Ecologies, Matthew Fuller asks what happens when media systems interact. Complex objects such as media systems—understood here as processes, or ele- ments in a composition as much as “things”—have become informational as much as physical, but without losing any of their fundamental materiality. Fuller looks at this multi- plicitous materiality—how it can be sensed, made use of, and how it makes other possibilities tangible. He investi- gates the ways the different qualities in media systems can be said to mix and interrelate, and, as he writes, “to produce patterns, dangers, and potentials.” Fuller draws on texts by Félix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze, as well as writings by Friedrich Nietzsche, Marshall McLuhan, Donna Haraway, Friedrich Kittler, and others, to define and extend the idea of “media ecology.” Arguing that the only way to find out about what happens new media/technology when media systems interact is to carry out such interac- tions, Fuller traces a series of media ecologies—“taking every path in a labyrinth simultaneously,” as he describes one chapter. He looks at contemporary London-based pirate radio and its interweaving of high- and low-tech “Media Ecologies offers an exciting first map of the mutational body of media systems; the “medial will to power” illustrated by analog and digital media technologies. Fuller rethinks the generation and “the camera that ate itself”; how, as seen in a range of interaction of media by connecting the ethical and aesthetic dimensions compelling interpretations of new media works, the capac- of perception.” ities and behaviors of media objects are affected when —Luciana Parisi, Leader, MA Program in Cybernetic Culture, University of they are in “abnormal” relationships with other objects; East London and each step in a sequence of Web pages, Cctv—world wide watch, that encourages viewers to report crimes seen Media Ecologies via webcams.

He left the space world for the toy world and teamed up with Wow Wee Toys Ltd. to create “Robosapien,” an intelligent robot with an attitude.304 The fourteen-inch-tall robot, which is operated by remote control, has great moves. In addition to walking forward, backward, and turning, he dances, raps, and gives karate chops. He can pick up small objects and even fling them across the room, and he does everything while grunting, belching, and emitting other “bodily” sounds.

Erwan Scornet Intelligence Artificielle et sant´e Definition of AI - Dartmouth conference On September 1955, a project was proposed by McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester and Claude Shannon introducing formally for the first time the term ”Artificial Intelligence". The study is to proceed on the basis of the conjecture that every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it. An attempt will be made to find how to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves. Proposal for Dartmouth conference on AI (1956) Erwan Scornet Intelligence Artificielle et sant´e Old applications of AI Many tasks were achieved between 1956 and 1974. Computer checkers (1959, Arthur Lee Samuel) capable of challenging a respectable amateur. Interestingly, he coined the term "Machine Learning" in 1959. IBM Shoebox (1961) was able to recognize 16 spoken words and the digits 0 to 9. ELIZA (1964-1966 at MIT, Joseph Weizenbaum) was one of the first chatterbots and one of the first programs capable of attempting the Turing Test.
