The new devices are traveling in deep oceans.

The problem with small robots that patrol the ocean and measure pollution and other things is their power source. Nuclear power or RTG (plutonium batteries)  is a powerful tool. But those things are dangerous in the wrong hands. Things like nuclear submarines could load electricity to the photovoltaic cells of those machines by using lasers. But the problem is that navy might want to use their nuclear-powered submarines for many other purposes. 

The new algae-powered soft devices can be fundamental in the research of independently operating nano- and miniature machines. One of the biggest problems with independently operating nanomachines is the power source. The system can use synthetic, lab-grown muscle cells. 

They are connected to tiny electric wires. And nanotechnical microchips are not using very much energy. The problem is how to make those tiny machines operate in deep dark places. 

And one of the solutions is to use bioluminescence. In that case, the miniaturized microchips get their energy from the small photovoltaic cells. They are getting light from living bioluminescence cells. And also if lab-grown neurons are connecting with the microchips. They are increasing the power of those systems. The nanotechnical microchips don't need very much energy. And the thing that requires electricity in those half-biological robots is the control system. The living cells need only nutrients. 

Also, things like piezo-electric and thermo-electric crystals can give electricity to small machines. In those cases the main system gets its electricity from crystals that are stressed by using sonar signals or the heat from muscle cells can use for that thing. Living tissue can use normal nutrients. 

By the way...

Bigger robots like small ball-shaped quadcopters can also patrol the ocean and use green energy. In that kind of system, the robot can use solar power. When the batteries of those systems end while the robot operates in the sea it can simply rise to the surface. And the robot can wait until the sun loads its batteries. 

Then the system can send a GPS signal to a satellite that tells the communication system and command center that their robot is ready for action. The system can store data in the flash memory and send it to the command center. But there is a possibility that the system just uses a vertical tube into the ocean. And then the capillary effect puts the small generator to rotate.

Artificial intelligence can emulate emotion.

Artificial intelligence can react to feelings. The idea of this kind of system is that when they see things like a laugh. The AI can laugh with the person. Or otherwise saying: the AI can send a sound effect, that seems like laughing. But how the AI knows when the person talks to it? Or when it should react to something? In that case, the AI recognizes the face. When a person looks at the AI, it reacts with a similar effect. 

When AI recognizes a smile, it will answer with a smile. If the user cries or seems depressed that system can apologize for that thing. The idea is that system sees the marks of sadness or disappointment, and then those signs activate certain database computer's memory. So the AI that reacts to feelings is like a magic mirror. 

This model tells how empathic AI works. (Image: ScitechDaily.com/Empathizing With Humans – Scientists Have Created a Robot That Can Laugh With You

Signals that are coming from sensors activate the certain database. And that allows the system to react to the thing, that it sees or hears. The system has certain parameters. It uses those parameters to react to things like feelings. When a person is happy the system knows it by following the voice and face. And how AI knows when it should laugh with others. The system detects how many people are laughing and also analyze situations. 

That kind of technology is needed when we are creating social robots. Those robots are planned to use in law enforcement's undercover missions. The idea of social robots is that they can emulate emotions. And that makes them very interesting tools. If we want to create a robot that is acting like a human, the system must give respond to emotions and other kinds of things. 

But AI can also make many more things. And one is that it can predict suicides. In that kinds of cases, when the AI tries to make that kind of prediction it uses a data matrix collected from similar cases. The data matrix can contain the use of the internet and other kinds of things. Then the AI will compare the data matrix with other people. And that thing helps it find people who planning those kinds of things.

The electric eel would give the ability to use bioelectricity as the power source of robotics

The electric eel would give the ability to use bioelectricity as the power source of robotics

The thing, that makes electric eels interesting fishes is that they can create electricity, which has 600 volts. That fish produces electricity by using special cells for that thing. And those cells can put in cell cultures, which can create electricity to the nanomachines, but why not also bigger equipment like electric cars and boats. Those cell cultures or biobatteries can connect like normal batteries, and they can give very high voltage if they are connected to series.

Have you ever thought the possibility, that the nanorobots and microchips would get electricity from the bioelectricity, what is created by the using cells, what are created from the electric eel, and what that fish uses for creating electricity? It would be quite easy to take the cells, what is creating the electricity for electric eel, and then put those cells to cultures. Then the thing, what the system needs is the nutrient for those cell cultures.

These kinds of cells can installed in very small robots, and they can be used to give electricity for miniaturized systems like motors, communication equipment, and other functions. In this case, the robot must keep in the nutrient, and then it can be released to the place, where it is needed. The communication equipment would tell if the voltage is going down, and then the robot just put back to nutrients, and the cells can create the electricity.

When we are thinking about that kind of cell culture as the power source for bigger robots and equipment, we must realize that the electric shock, what electric eel gives can kill the horse. So if we would want to create the ecological battery, what uses biotechnology, we must take a couple of electric cells of the electric eel, and then multiply those cells for cultures. Then they can be used for many tools, and even the aggregate can be replaced by that kind of machine.

The voltage, what single electric eel can give is about 600 volts, but the size of the cell cultures might be really big. And that allows creating a very high level of electricity. When we are thinking about the use of those cell cultures to create electricity for bigger systems, those electric elements can be connected to series or side by side, and that means they are acting like normal batteries, which makes it possible to create many fundamental things.

One thing, what would be interesting would be the robot, what will drink nutrient when it needs more power. That means the system would eat like dogs or other puppies. And the bioelectric system would give power to the motors, cameras and other equipment of that robot, and it would use in many other things. In the most interesting, and in the same way, futuristic ideas is that some cars or boats would use bioelectricity in the future.

Machine learning and real-life solutions

Machine learning and real-life solutions

The virtual chat, which is controlled by artificial intelligence is one of the innovations for modern research and developing. The idea is based quite a simple idea to connect the speech to text and voice command application to research and development tools. This means that when some people are making as an example of the seminar about this thing, the software would turn the speech to text, and the system can collect every kind of data, what can be connected to those texts or speeches, and then the computer would follow the chat. The system would compare the written words to the database, and then give the answers, what might seem to given by the real human.

But when we are thinking the artificial intelligence as the project manager, the thing is basing the database, what is created in project meetings and planning discussions. The base of that thing is so-called negative brainstorming, where all threats and problems, what project can face would be located and uncovered, what makes possible to predict the things, what can cause problems or danger the projects.

Then the real project would be made, and at the same time the data of that project can be collected to another database, and those databases can compare for uncovering the miscalculations, and finding the reasons for that. And then those data can be connected to the matrix, which can be used to help other projects, and the automatization in that kind of thing makes decisions easier.

When we are thinking the artificial intelligence, we must realize that the data is the thing, that makes that thing effective. Machine learning is addicted to the ability to get the data and compare it with the real situation. Those kinds of complete and very large databases are really hard to make, because if we want to create artificial intelligence, what can control projects and give answers, what would solve problems, what project faces suddenly.

What kind of programs those things might be? The answer is machine learning. The thing is that when the database is growing, and the stored data would be more complete, the machine can operate more and more independently. The idea of machine learning is that those machines learn things like human beings, and this is the way, how we are learning things. When the database of successful and unsuccessful actions is made sharply that kind of system would turn very independent.

But it can do those decisions only in the sector. If we would want to create the database, what allows robots to operate independently in the normal society, that kind of computers and robots would need extremely large databases for successful operations. And this kind of system, what are automatically recording things like vehicle movements in some airports and then those systems would learn from the solutions, what human is done.

And the problems are that the controlling traffic at some airport than making an independently driving car. But those systems operate in the areas, where are strict regulations. That kind of system is far away from robots, what can live in a normal society, and live there like humans. Even if we would make the machine-version of the dog, what will go shopping for us, we are facing problems, and one of them is, what to do if the price, what is given to that robot is wrong?

One of the biggest questions is, what would the machine allow to do, if somebody attacks against it? When we are thinking the case, where human being attacks against the robot, what looks like a human, we would think that the person would do the same thing for a real human. And that thing is offering things, that in the future police would use the decoy robots, what are looking like helpless people.

If somebody will attack them that person would be arrested by those robots, which might also be used for intelligence and combat operations. That kind of system might be advanced, and also one version of the robot soldiers of tomorrow.

The strange detail in one painting, which might inspire the creators of nanotechnology

The strange detail in one painting, which might inspire the creators of nanotechnology

I have introduced this painting somewhere else, and as you see it is similar to other "Totentanz" images, and maybe it is painted for the warning, that everybody can be the informant. And the time, when this image has been made was The 30 Years War. When the war was going on, both sides used informants for delivering the information to other side movements. This war was a religious war between the Christian world. And it was a really bloody campaign. And the first time the ordinary people faced the violence of the war.

But there is one detail, what has caused the inspiration for some science fiction writers like Isaac Asimov.  The detail is the nun, who stands at the front of the window, and talks with another skeleton.  

Asimov created the idea for one of his books by using the idea that the entire planet would be covered by the intelligent cells. The Asimov's idea was that the dominating species of the planet was the swarm of the bugs, what would not be intelligent alone. But when the swarm is acting together it will able to get any form, what it wants. Maybe he got the inspiration of that kind of things from this kind of things.

The idea of nanotechnology is the same as the Asimov's species of intelligent bugs. The thing is that the nanotechnology can create big structures and the form of the nanomachines is similar to living cells. They can look like some thready bacteria, and those small size wires would be the hooks, what is keeping the machines or structure in one piece.

Each of those machines would be controlled by the microchip, that knows it's placed in the structure. Microchips are communicating together by using WLAN, which makes possible to separate and reform the structure.

That figure of nun seems to rise from the ground and dust. When we are thinking about the nanotechnology and extremely small machines, those things can make the form of a human. If the system is created by using the machines, which are made by using silicone. The result is something, what seems like a human.  Or everything else, what the system would want that creature to portray.

Brainwave-controlled robots can be an awesome tool in many things

Brainwave-controlled robots can be an awesome tool in many things

Every time we are facing the fascinating idea in computer technology. The thing is a biological microprocessor, what would be the revolution in computer technology. And in fact, the simplest way to create that kind of microprocessor is to connect our own brains to a computer by using the EEG-machine, what is connected to the decoder. That system would allow transforming our brainwaves to the form, what computer, and if we would have that equipment, we might control the robots like they would be our second body.

This would be one very good point for making new kind of robots, what looks like humans, and what can be controlled through the Internet and satellites even from the opposite side of the world. But this technology, what is connected to artificial intelligence and machine learning would allow the research the surfaces of the gas planets icy moons. The machine learning means that the robot is learning like a child.


The movement tracks of the robot can be recorded, and send to the distance by using radio waves and internet


The movement tracks what are necessary would be taught to the system by using virtual reality, and if we are thinking about the situation, that the machine must do something in the distance, where the signal travels even hours, would there be the simple solution for that. The operator can use a similar system, what travels on the distance on Earth, and then the movement tracks would send to the robots, what are operating in the distance.

But this kind of bioprocessors would not be effective in the space travel and probes, what is traveling in the edge of our solar system. The control signal travels hours to the giant gas planets and the controlling those robots, what is traveling on the surface of their icy moons. Those robots might actually the hybrid systems, where another part is like the Mars-car, what have successfully researched the surface of the red planet.

And the other part of the system might be a human-looking robot, what can collect samples from the tough places, and fix the damages of the car. The image recognition systems allow them to choose tools or other parts and take the interesting samples, and if those robots cannot solve some problems, they would send the message of that to the control room. Robots would not tired and that means that they can stay in the same position even days.

Skeleton-shaped robots can use the same tools as humans.


The human-shaped robot could use the same tools with humans, and those robots might have multiple systems, which guarantees the success of the mission. Those robots might actually look like little bit walking skeletons because there is no need to cover them by using some tissue-looking thing, and some persons have thought that could the medieval figure where Death is in the shape of skeleton actually the robot. That figure has been given inspiration for the creators of the futuristic "Terminator" robots, but the connection with the original images and robotics is the only speculation.

I don't know about that, but those paintings have inspired engineers to create the robots, what is looking like the skeleton. If we would think the situation, that we would send the probe to the moons like Europa and Titan,  or somewhere farther away from Earth, that means that those missions must be a success.

In the cases where the probe would be destroyed during the travel, the thing what makes that loss very sad is that those probes cannot send every year, and if the mission has taken years, the destruction of the probe would be catastrophic. The system uses machine learning and artificial intelligence for creating the new movement tracks and tactics, how to survive in the situations, what the futuristic probe can face.

If there would be the problems with that system, the controllers of that robot can use virtual-reality to make new movement tracks, and in this situation, the laser scanner can make the 3D-image of the environment with a camera system, what uses two cameras like human eyes, and connecting the data, what the pressure sensors from the hands of the robot that robot can change the parts of the robot car or climb in the mountains.
