I say, this is pretty amazing.
Tufts University biologists developed an artificial intelligence system that for the first time reverse-engineered the regeneration mechanism of planaria--the small worms whose extraordinary power to regrow body parts makes them a research model in human regenerative medicine. The discovery presents the first model of regeneration discovered by a non-human intelligence and the first comprehensive model of planarian regeneration, which has eluded human scientists for a century.

An artificial intelligence system has for the first time reverse-engineered the regeneration mechanism of planaria—the small worms whose extraordinary power to regrow body parts has made them a research model in human regenerative medicine.
The discovery by Tufts University biologists presents the first model of regeneration discovered by a non-human intelligence and the first comprehensive model of planarian regeneration, which had eluded human scientists for over 100 years. The work, published in the June 4, 2015, issue of PLOS Computational Biology, demonstrates how "robot science" can help human scientists in the future.

That's pretty awesome. I wonder what they could do if they teamed up with IBM to put their algorithm on that Watson supercomputer/AI thing.

That is pretty awesome.
Meanwhile in Japan they were spending time training robots to use katana at the level of master swordsman, it can even cut a pea in half and draws/swings the sword faster/stronger than humanly possible, and of course being a robot it doesn't get tired.
Now we just wait and see which of the robots kills us all first.

Japan will make sex robot first before military ones..

And then use them in war. Sending a bunch of robotic succubus to lure the opposing side's man and woman to subdue or break their mind with endless...
Fufufu....

If only that was how war worked, lol. But I guess they could use them to assassinate single high value targets. Get them to bed by posing as easy girls and when they're distracted...
Though I guess humans can do that job just as well. Makes you wonder why it isn't done!

Can you explain the context of that post?

lol, just thinking of how he would use this in his experiments
