La sfida tra l’uomo e la macchina intriga gli scienziati da anni, ovvero da quando sono riusciti a trasferire almeno alcune delle caratteristiche proprie dell’intelligenza umana ai «robot». Non si tratta solo di creature più o meno antropomorfe o zoomorfe (dall’aspirapolvere Roomba al cagnolino Aibo passando per il robot umanoide della Honda, Asimo), ma di sofisticati algoritmi con enormi spazi di applicazione nel settore della comunicazione ed elaborazione dati.
«La robotica oggi ha trovato nicchie applicative di grande interesse. si può dire che l’intelligenza artificiale (ai) sia ovunque intorno a noi», dice Andrea Bonarini del laboratorio Ai & Robotics del Politecnico di Milano. «Basti pensare ai software intelligenti per l’interpretazione dei trend di mercato, che permettono di costruire campagne pubblicitarie mirate, a quelli for strategic planning of activities in business or computer systems that are different databases talk to each other. "
On the Stock Exchange from time programs are used for the purchase of securities: Richard Balarkas, CEO of Instinet Europe, points out that European equity markets are mostly driven by algorithms that can perform sophisticated analysis on securities and market evolution. These programs are not always kept pace with the dynamic characteristic of the bags, but as you find the right software would be to make money millionaires, scientists (and companies) do not stop to test new products: the goal is to Krishnen Vytelingum University of of Southampton who, along with colleagues from the University of Bristol, has developed a trading program better than 5% of the existing ones is more dynamic (changing his aggression on the behavior of other agents) and can set the choices on the basis of 'analysis of past periods.
particularly studied computer chess: also because it allows applications in other fields, from telephone to psychology. Italian Giancarlo Delli Colli is the author of the software Equinox (last Genoa Science Festival has challenged the two chess players Sedina Elena and Igor Efimov). There was also a game between the two programs Equinox and arrow, this one an Italian, Gemma Stefano, won the first. The intelligent software will also replace your doctor or scientist. The robot scientist Adam of Aberystwyth University and Cambridge University (UK) has developed a research hypothesis, verified and repeated the experiment.
There is also a journalist-robot, a program developed capable of writing articles, for now only sport (baseball). The project, called Stats Monkey, is the Intelligent Information Laboratory at Northwestern University in America: everything you need, it seems, are crawlers that mixed expressions of human language and references to previous articles. As a sports article contains standard information, the system can generate text automatically, including the title and pictures.
Science fiction? No: the California-based company Demand Media, which has partnered with Google, believes in journalism, on-demand, generated - at least in part - to the computer. The algorithm searches through the media demand of search terms entered on Google, identifies the keywords on which to link advertisers and produces thousands of topics for articles and videos that match what is required on the web. The story is then developed by freelancer "human" - at least for now.
And in Italy? "The Italian leads the robotics community, and counting the supremacy in Germany, France and Sweden. We do not lack the brains, our problem is resources and facilities, "he says Stefano Chiaverini, director of the Department of Automation, Electromagnetism, Information Engineering and Industrial Mathematics, University of Cassino.
The ministerial funds are low (10 million euro for the whole area of \u200b\u200bindustrial engineering and information), but thanks to the Seventh Framework Programme EU robotics has obtained 400 million, of which approximately 10% will return to Italy . "The University of Naples Federico II, together with my university, the Second University of Naples, the University of Salerno, the University and the University of Basilicata Roma Tre, is a partner of a large European project on robotics, Echord, led by the Technical University of Monaco, who has received the most funding ever given to the EU industry (19 million euro). Echord put emphasis on targeted research to industrial application, facilitating technology transfer from labs to companies, "concludes Chiaverini," just so the programs become robots and consumer electronics products.
