stanley cup ions involving airplane wings in the span of a year, a federal agency wants certain large planes to be equipped with tools that provide the same kind of assistance as rear-view cameras featured in many vehicles.The National Transportation Safety Board, the agency charged with investigating plane crashes, recommended Wednesday that the Federal Aviation Administration require that planes be outfitted with cameras or some other aid.The recommendation is intended to assist pilots while taxiing at the nation s airports. Pilots of such models as the Airbus A380, Boeing 747 and McDonnell Douglas MD-10 can t see their aircraft s wingtips without sticking their heads out of the cockpit window, according to the NTSB, which calls that maneuver often impractical. A system that can provide real-time information on wingtip clearance in relation to other obstacles will give pilots of large airplanes an essential tool when taxiing, NTSB chief Deborah Hersman said in a statement. While collision warning systems are now common in highway vehicles, it is important for the aviation industry to consider their

Then, an EVA Air Boeing 747 hit the tail of an American Eagle Embraer 135 at Chicago O Hare International Airport.

This bionic drumming arm is a pretty cool piece of tech, combining robotics with musical algorithms, but it also has some interesting applications for artificial intelligence. Jason Barnes, the drummer in the video and a student at the Atlanta Institute of Music and Media, lost the lower part of his arm in an accident but continued to drum using a prosthetic he crafted himself. Scientis

One of the coolest features, though, is the musical algorithm based on the work of jazz greats that will power an additional autonomous drumstick that works with Barnes ; own drumming to create a mix of sounds one person couldn ;t otherwise make alone. Via The New Scientist: The researchers then added another layer of complexity: a second, autonom
stanley cup ous drumstick on the robot arm see photo . This second stick, controlled via its own motor, uses a microphone and an accelerometer to sense the rhythm Barnes is playing, as well as music from any nearby musicians. An algorithm then produces a new beat with a complementary rhythm and melody, modelled on the music of jazz greats like John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk. With this extra artificial intelligence, human and machine combine to make Barnes a kind of 8220 uperhuman drummer, Weinberg says. This is pretty cool, and an interesting way to think about artificial intelligen
