MIT researchers have developed a new polymer film that changes its shape after absorbing water vapor. It's made from two interlocked layers of polymers - a stronger but flexible & supportive layer, and a softer absorbent one that swells when it absorbs moisture (water vapor). As the absorbent layer swells, it causes the film to curl. When the film is exposed to moisture at its surface, it curls up. Once the bottom of the film is exposed to the air, it releases the moisture, causing it to uncurl and start the process over. It needs very little vapor, but produces a large amount of strength, able to lift a load of silver wires 10 times its own weight. This continuous motion could, generate enough electricity to power small electronics or drive artificial robotic muscles.
"Diego-San" is a new little-boy robot with facial expressions and HD cameras in his eyes. The face, designed by David Hanson and Hanson Robotics, mounts on a body by Japan's Kokoro Co.
Diego-San was built for the Machine Perception Lab at the UCSD Institute for Neural Computation with funding from the National Science Foundation. With gestures, facial expressions, and artificial intelligence software modeled on the human baby learnsing process, it's being billed as "emotionally relevant robotics".

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE UPDATES 2012
Artificial Intelligence Updates 2012
In this [1.5 hour] video by UCtelevision, Jeff Hawkins - an inventor, engineer, neuroscientist, author and entrepreneur - reviews several efforts to build intelligent machines and posits that machine intelligence is only possible by first understanding how the brain works and then building systems that work on the same principles. He describes neocortical modeling of machine-generated data, and concludes with predictions on how machine intelligence will unfold in the future.
