Course talk:CPSC522/Robot Scientist

Hi Ke,

So cool! When will come the time when Adam realizes that the best way to test its hypothesis is to abduct (no pun intended) and experiment on its human lab mates?

When Adam chooses experiments to perform to test its hypothesis, does it have to choose from a predetermined set of experiments that have been hard coded by scientists, or can it generate experiments on its own? It must be constrained somehow by its own physical limitations, right?

The wiki page reads like a news article (which is really refreshing actually), but I think a bit more technical details would make the computer science parts more interesting.

I like the comparison between the time it takes a human to conduct experiments the time it takes these robots to do them, although I imagine it'd be more time-consuming to maintain and upgrade these robots to do further experiments.

As you might've noticed, I don't actually have much to critique about, mostly just comments. Thanks for the great read and have a good day,

Ricky

Good work Ke Dai. The content looks good to me. I think you just need to make it look a bit better, like you should increase size of images. Headings (of Fahrenheit and Adam) also looks ambiguous.

Nice page. Maybe you can try to better organize the page. Section titles such as "Fahrenheit" and "Adam" can be confusing (looks like titles with no content). And is there any limitations of Adam?

Hi Ke,

It is a good page and I like the topic you choose. Only some small suggestions for you to refer to:

1. I think you did not include the builds on and related pages, I think this topic should at least relate to control theory.

2. In the section Fahrenheit, I think it would be better to have a short description for it, otherwise it will be easily confusing. So does section Adam.

3. In the evaluation part, other than less human interaction, is there any other advantages that Adam have? Also, could you put some experiment data here to show how much is Adam better than Fahrenheit?

Best regards,

Jiahong Chen
