In the vein of language-related news articles, I came across this:
http://news.discovery.com/tech/robots-invent-their-own-spoke n-language-110523.html Short form - "Mobile robots each equipped with a microphone and speaker have developed a spoken language in order to communicate. The robots use the made-up words to describe location and distance." Looks like the work on this was presented at a robotics conference in Shanghai; here's another link from the conference host's site. http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/artificial-intel ligence/lingodroid-robots-invent-their-own- spoken-language This appears, so far, to be just in the 'infancy' stages of development. I'd be curious to see, if left to their own devices, how their programming would allow for more complicated syntax (prepositions/postpositions - 'under X', 'next to Y' type concepts). 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It says they just describe location and distance with audio signals. That's not much
different to radio signals. Interesting none the less. 1 person has voted this message useful |
