AIDigest: 8/6/09. Mattel’s New Mind Game.

Fox News: Robot Chefs Run Restaurant in Japan. “The FuA-Men (Fully Automated raMen) restaurant in Nagoya, Japan features a chef and assistant — both fully autonomous robots. The robots perform all of the cooking tasks needed to make eighty bowls per day, serving the customers who come to their small shop.”

PC Magazine: When it Comes to Robots, We’re Brainless. “A bunch of computer scientists just ensured that we won’t see any interesting robots in our lifetime.”

7 Gadgets: Mindflex. “Mindflex, the new mental acuity game from Mattel, makes that dream a reality. A lightweight headset containing sensors for the forehead and earlobes measures your brainwave activity. When you focus your concentration, a small foam ball will rise on a gentle stream of air. Relax your thoughts and the ball will descend. By using a combination of physical and mental coordination, you must then guide the ball through a customizable obstacle course – the various obstacles can be repositioned into many different configurations.”
