ВВС США отдали компании AeroVironment контракт стоимостью $ 5млн. на беспилотник Switchblade и исполнение сервисных работ. Switchblade, возможно, будут направлены в следующем году в специальные подразделения. Отметим, что мини-БПЛА Switchblade был представлена впервые выставке в Сан-Диего в середине 2008 года.

 – The purpose of this paper is to review developments on the internet, especially those of general cybernetic interest.

Design/methodology/approach – The need to reduce carbon emissions on account of the atmospheric greenhouse effect has recently been queried, but observations of effects on the oceans confirm its continuing importance. A means of viewing new buildings in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the site of origin of much of cybernetics, is indicated, as is also a remarkable development of an advanced prosthetic device. Sources of information about the recent WikiLeaks or “Cablegate” events are reviewed.

Findings – Effects of acidification on ocean biota are serious. New buildings on the MIT campus are not following the example of the bizarre Stata Center. The robotic exoskeleton is a valuable development made under unusual conditions. No attempt is made to judge ethics or long-term effects of WikiLeaks activity but it is shown to be wide ranging and to be defended eloquently by its main operative.

Practical implications – The need to reduce carbon emissions is confirmed by studies of the oceans, probably among other factors. The exoskeleton development is a valuable addition to prosthetic technology as well as an example of what can be done with limited resources.

Originality/value – It is hoped this is a valuable periodic review.

Специалисты Массачусетского технологического института (MIT) разработали микросхему, которая успешно моделирует связи между нейронами. Эта разработка не просто упражнение по копированию принципов работы мозга. Она может быть использована для вполне прикладных вещей вроде создания искусственной сетчатки.

Many diseases affect human movement functions and daily living. In order to recover the ability of movement, rehabilitation is the only way to improve the situation for many clients. Therefore, this study proposed a novel robot with brain-computer interface for rehabilitation exercises, namely BCRS (Brian-Controlled Rehabilitation System) and using multiple kernel learning (MKL) trains the classifier. BCRS detects and classifies the P300 and non-P300 signals from human brain and determines what kind of the rehabilitation exercises will be chosen. Three types of exercises, passive range of motion, isotonic, and isometric exercise, were realized in the system and support vector machine was used as the classification algorithm. For the three exercises, a new P300 panel was designed and composed of 25 commands. Through the experiments, we can find that BCRS can achieve good performance for rehabilitation exercises and MKL is a good method for EEG to have good accuracy of P300 signal classification and low training time than support vector machine (SVM).
