  • Hive45 Singularity Podcast #59 - Love & Collective Communities
    Ray Kurzweil writes about love: "And you can view it in an evolutionary perspective that there is actually value in us connecting to each other, because it leads to better protection of the species if we actually create communities based on love and act as a super organism as opposed to every individual for him or herself, which is actually not a good strategy overall." We discuss his point, the idea of love as a human construct, collectivism vs individualism, the future of individualism, and the benefits o

  • The Future of Agriculture: Plants Plugged In
    Dutch agricultural company PlantLab is researching ways to efficiently grow food in skyscrapers, warehouses, or underground using hydroponics while utilizing technology to precisely control the plant environments and outcomes. Instead of sunlight, PlantLab uses red and blue LEDs which achieve a a photosynthesis efficiency of 12-15% (outdoor plants are around 9%), they use 10% of the traditional water requirements, they monitor 163,830 reports per second with advanced sensors, and apparently the food tastes

  • Could Opensource Swarm Robotics Be The Future?
    Swarmanoid is a swarm intelligence robotics hivemind system comprising of differing robots each with a particular skill-set to solve a problem. For example, in the movie they have 3 robots cooperating to find and retrieve a book on a bookshelf: - the eye-bot is the flying eyes of the system watching from above and scouting-out the environment ahead, - the foot-bot is a wheeled robot with a gripper that moves the hand-bot to where it needs to go - the hand-bot climbs the bookshelf and grips the book to retri

  • Electronic Tattoos For Body Monitoring & Lifelogging
    Flexible electronic temporary tattoos that can measure things like heartbeats on the chest (ECG), muscle contractions in the leg (EMG), and alpha waves through the forehead (EEG). The devices include all electrodes, electronic components, sensors, radio frequency communication components, and power supplies within an incredibly thin (about 30 μm) and lightweight (0.09g) elastic polyester sheet.
