Applied Automation Systems

We have sustained an abiding interest in the development of alternative software systems and "intelligent" systems of automation that accomplish a range of functional tasks. We see robotic systems as something more than insects on wheels or anthropomorphized walking, talking iron-men.

We seek integration of automated systems at all levels, and see such systems being articulated upon the following main points:

1. globally distributed systems that are primarily articulated by the Internet in a wireless modality.

2. expert informational and knowledge systems that are capable of solving increasingly complex problem tasks.

3. increasingly integrated and extended systems of automation and articulation of adaptive systems of work and play in non-anthropomorphized forms.

4. design of an automated interface that consistently and reliably meets minimal criteria of the Turing Test of hard AI.

5. design of presentation systems that allow for virtual four-dimensional, multi-media performance 

6. increasing standardization and integration of different software platforms with the aim of streamlining and simplifying the human use of software.

7. design development of increasingly sophisticated super-computing systems in both distributed and centralized forms.
