Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Evolution Comparison
well come to thing of it, BEAM isn't really a robot, since the
definition is something to replace the actions of a human's work
(roughly). First of all, BEAM emulates nature, what the hell is the
practical use of nature (damn maybe i should've talked about an
easier subject like quantum physics) , well its an ecosystem right?
It supports life and keeps going, wait, theres still no point to
nature is there?!
BEAM wasn't meant to create a robot to clean our carpets. It was
supposed to be recreating nature. So whether you've got serious
research like Mark, or whether BEAM is just a hobby where you make
stuff that moves, there wasn't meant to be a practical use.
