Heading for MaxEnt 2008, Brazil: Today!

I am visiting Brazil for one week to participate in a conference:
MAXENT2008.

http://www.brastex.info/maxent2008/

There, I will be presenting my works.
Last year, MAXENT2007 was held in Saratoga Springs, NY. I was also a part of it as a local organizer. The conference brings a lot of international scientist from different fields into a common place to discuss their works and progresses made during the year. This enables a one-to one interaction with the dignified scientists in the respective field.

I will be flying from JFK, NY, USA to Sao Paulo, Brazil : tonight at 10PM.
WISH ME ALL THE BEST!!!

A Robot Conductor in Stage!

I know, it is all about pre-programmed robot in the video below.
But we all go into training to get ourselves into some familiar sequence of nice notes. That is also a kind of programming. I found a video in which the robot Asimo directing people as a conductor in a nice stage program.

Many people may find trouble to work under robot.
Oh, actually you can find humans working as robots whenever you call to the 1-800 numbers which are usually equipped with real people trained to behave as robot.
The debate on whether robots are going to outsmart people will continue.
Enjoy the video.
