This months Scientific American (March 2000) has an interesting article on how
ants are affecting the way automated systems are designed. Applications
include robotics, network traffic routing, and even analyzing bank data. The
article includes a discussion of robots built using these principles. These
robots work together to move heavy obsticles without ever actually
communicating with one another.
In the same issue is an article on biological clocks. The article states that
scientists are discovering that that the body, not just the brain, contains
many timing mechanisms that affect how we act, think, and feel. I thought this
was very interesting, especially coming on the heels of Bens Rock Stupid Rover
that moves avoidance control out of the RCX brain and into its robotic body.
