Integrtating robots with machine vision

The usefulness of a machine vision system in a manufacturing plant depends as much on how well it is integrated into the production line as it does on the performance of the system itself.

Google Reveals Wireless Vision - Open Networks

Anti-Globalism writes with this excerpt from CNet: "Google's vision of tomorrow's wireless network is in stark contrast to how wireless operators do business today, setting the two sides on a possible collision course. Earlier this week, the search giant filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent Office describing its vision of an open wireless network where smartphones aren't tied to any single cell phone network. In Google's open wireless world, phones and other wireless devices would search for the strongest, fastest connection at the most competitive price. Essentially, wireless operators' networks would be reduced to 'dumb pipes.'" The full patent application is available as well. Google founder Larry Page recently asked the FCC to free up portions of the broadcast spectrum for this purpose.

New alternatives to the Vision

In two months and three days, the administration of President George W. Bush will come to an end and that of his successor, Barack Obama, will begin. That transfer of power will take place just a few days after the fifth anniversary of President Bush’s speech at NASA Headquarters that unveiled what became known as the Vision for Space Exploration: the plan to complete the International Space Station and retire the Space Shuttle by 2010 and press ahead with plans to return humans to the Moon by 2020. Implementing the Vision has been NASA’s primary focus since that January 2004 speech, an effort that is just now beginning to bear fruit, such as with next year’s planned launch of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter—the first in a series of planned robotic precursors—and the Ares 1-X suborbital flight test.

The week in science: the Hubble breaks down, HIV origin found, and two stories on sex

Sex sells, and this past week's science news was no different. Two of our most popular stories focused on how sex helps drive things like speciation and lifecycles. In the first case, sex and vision were the key factors. In Africa's Lake Victoria, a species of fish is diverging in two: one group is living in a red light environment, where red-shifted vision is favored and males are evolving red coloration. Their former species-members live just a few meters above them, where blue rules the vision and male coloration.
