profile on a famous DARPA researcher: Hans P. Moravec - AI specialist http://www.frc.ri.cmu.edu/~hpm/hpm.cv.html is the piece from which the following is snipped:
Hans Moravec is a Principal Research Scientist in the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University. He has been thinking about machines thinking since he was a child in the 1950s, building his first robot, a construct of tin cans, batteries, lights and a motor, at age ten. In high school he won two science fair prizes for a light-following electronic turtle and a tape-controlled robot hand. As an undergraduate he designed a computer to control fancier robots, and experimented with learning and automatic programming on commercial machines. During his master's work he built a small robot with whiskers and photoelectric eyes controlled by a minicomputer, and wrote a thesis on a computer language for artificial intelligence. He received a PhD from Stanford University in 1980 for a TV-equipped robot, remote controlled by a large computer, that negotiated cluttered obstacle courses, taking about five hours. Since 1980 his Mobile Robot Lab at CMU has discovered more effective approaches for robot spatial representation, notably 3D occupancy grids, that, with newly available computer power, promise commercial free-ranging mobile robots within a decade. His books, Mind Children: the future of robot and human intelligence, 1988, and Robot: mere machine to transcendent mind, 1998, consider the implications of evolving robot intelligence. He has published many papers and articles in robotics, computer graphics, multiprocessors, space travel and other speculative areas.

DARPA To Support Development Of Human Brain-Machine Interfaces http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/08/020820071329.htm is the piece from which the following is snipped:
Devices including "neuroprosthetic" limbs for paralyzed people and "neurorobots" controlled by brain signals from human operators could be the ultimate applications of brain-machine interface technologies developed under a $26 million contract to Duke University sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The contract is part of DARPA's Brain-Machine Interfaces Program (http://www.darpa.mil/dso/thrust/sp/bmi.htm), which seeks to develop new technologies for augmenting human performance by accessing the brain in real time and integrating the information into external devices.

In a remarkable invention, US scientists
have developed a biological computer made
of leech neurons that can think for itself.
The neuron computer works in a way
similar to the human brain.
According to BBC, "Leechulator" as the
device is known as, is the brainchild
of Professor Bill Ditto, from the
Georgia Institute of Technology.
According to him the silicon computer
is a dumb machine whereas these biological
computers powered with neurons will come
to the correct answer by themselves based
on the partial information provided to them.
At present, the computer is able to perform
only simple mathematical functions, but the
aim is to devise a new generation of fast
and flexible computers that can work out for
themselves on how to solve a problem. This
approach to computing is particularly suited
to pattern recognition tasks like reading
handwriting, which would take enormous
amounts of power on a conventional computer.
In this invention Leech neurons are used as
leeches have been extensively studied and
understood and are known to form their own
connections from one to another. Each neuron
has its own electrical activity and responds
in its own way to an electrical stimuli.
These features can be used to make each neuron
represent a number. The neurons then inter-link
to perform calculations.

Kazerooni and his colleagues have made what may be the world's most advanced motorized exoskeleton. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) regards exoskeleton technology as promising enough to deserve a $50 million, 5-year commitment to fund Kazerooni's lab and others. This spring, the agency awarded first-year grants under the program.

Such positioning requires nanometer-scale precision, something beyond the sensitivities of lithography or other micro-positioning devices. Instead, the team is using chunks of biomolecules called peptides to latch onto specific sites of the neuron.

Imagine being able to land a jumbo jet without ever taking control of the stick. NASA scientists recently demonstrated the ability to control a 757 passenger jet simulation, using only human muscle-nerve signals linked to a computer.

The concept of the cyborg emerged out of the field of cybernetics. Cybernetics, a field of research and theory first defined by Norbert Wiener in 1948 (see Wiener 1962), is the study of the control and regulatory properties of complex systems. Wiener was clear from the beginning that cybernetics applied equally to both machines and living systems. Although he did address the social implications of cybernetics in his early work, he did not discuss the actual physical merger of machines and organisms. It took another decade before two NASA scientists named Manfred Clynes and Nathan Kline (1960) to coin the term "cyborg," and to suggest some of the advantages for space travel of altering the human body with machines.

Covert military operations and space shuttle missions are both burdened by the fact that they rely on an inefficient, energy-wasting machine: the human body. Considering one of the biggest logistical problems planners face is getting power to equipment in remote places like Afghanistan or the moon, researchers are devoting their efforts to cut some of those losses through "energy harvesting" from the human body.
