Robots act on objects and teach themselves in the process. Fri, 29 Oct 2010 12:00:01 +0100 http://cordis.europa.eu/ictresults/index.cfm?section=news&tpl=article&id=91453 Action-centred cognition is a groundbreaking concept in robotics where robots learn to ‘think’ in terms of what actions they can perform on an object. This new trend in cognition theory opens exciting new vistas.

A new European research project aims to prevent potentially dangerous information overload. Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:00:01 +0100 http://cordis.europa.eu/ictresults/index.cfm?section=news&tpl=article&id=91425 European researchers have combined computer modelling of quantum mechanics and precision fabrication processes to create novel transparent conductive oxides made to order for a wide range of scientific and consumer applications.
