C $ut if robots are to reach the ne#t stage of labour-sa!ing utilit" the" will ha!e to operate with

'While we 3now how to tell a robot to handle a specific error'sa"s one e#pert 'we can't "et gi!e a robot enough common sense to reliabl" interact with ad"namic world.' 2ndeed the 5uest for true artificial intelligence 4l has produced !er" mi#ed

results. Despite a spasm of initial optimism in the +7B*s and +7F*s when it appeared thattransistor circuits and microprocessors might be able to perform in the same wa" as the human

brain b" the )+st centur" researchers latel" ha!e e#tended their forecasts b" decades if notcenturies.

D What the" found in attempting to model thought is that the human brain's roughl" one hundredbillion neurons are much more talented - and human perception far more complicated - thanpre!iousl" imagined. The" ha!e built robots that can recogni(e the misalignment of a machine

The most ad!anced computer s"stems on arth can't

approach that 3ind of abilit" and neuroscientists still don't 3now 5uite how we do it.

E 1onetheless as information theorists neuroscientists and computer e#perts pool their talentsthe" are finding wa"s to get some life li3e intelligence from robots. =ne method renounces thelinear logical structure of con!entional electronic circuits in fa!our of the mess" ad hocarrangement of a real brain's neurons.

F 2n other areas researchers are struggling to fashion a more natural relationship between people

and robots in the e#pectation that some da" machines will ta3e on some tas3s now done b"humans in sa" nursing homes. This is particularl" important in >apan where the percentage ofelderl" citi(ens is rapidl" increasing. So e#periments at the Science 8ni!ersit" of To3"o ha!ecrated a 'face robot' - life-si(e soft plastic model of a female head with a !ideo camera imbeddedin the left e"e-as a protot"pe. The researchers' goal is to create robots that people feelcomfortable around. The" are concentrating on the face because the" belie!e facial e#pressionsare the most important wa" to transfer emotional messages. We read those messages b"interpreting e#pressions to decide whether a person is happ" frightened angr" or ner!ous. Thus

the >apanese robot is designed to detect emotions in the person it is 'loo3ing at' b" sensing

changes in the spatial arrangement of the person's e"es nose e"ebrows and mouth. 2tcompares those configurations with a database of standard facial e#pressions and guesses theemotion. The robot then uses an ensemble of tin" pressure pads to adGust its plastic face onto an

appropriate emotional response.

G =ther labs are ta3ing a different approach one that doesn't tr" to mimic human intelligence oremotions. >ust as computer design has mo!ed awa" from one central mainframe in fa!our ofm"riad indi!idual wor3stations - and single processors ha!e been replaced b" arra"s of smallerunits that brea3 a big problem into parts that are sol!ed simultaneousl" - man" e#perts are now

in!estigating whether swarms of semi-smart robots can generate a collecti!e intelligence that isgreater than the sum of its parts. That's what beehi!es and ant colonies do and se!eral teams

are betting that legions of mini-critters wor3ing together li3e an ant colon" could be sent to

e#plore the climate of planets or to inspect pipes in dangerous industrial situations.
