genehackeryou there kanzure?14:27
kanzure_yes14:38
genehackerI've been thinking about that UAV supply network that fenn was talking about14:46
genehackersomething like a skyhook might make sense for the pick up and delivery mechanism14:47
genehackerhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_surface-to-air_recovery_system14:49
genehackerhttp://blog.modernmechanix.com/2006/07/25/chicagos-airmail-pick-up-catapults-mail-bags-to-planes/14:58
genehackermaybe something like this14:58
genehackerbut that means everyone who wants to use the service has to buy a complex device and have enough room for a model airplane to buzz it15:00
genehackerbut I'm thinking at this point UAV mail systems for delivering small bits and pieces could be implemented much in a similar manner to hobbyist ham radio15:07
genehackeras in people do it for a hobby15:08

kanzure_https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustinTeam  huh16:47
kanzure_"yes, this group is indeed active. We had 4 people attend the August 2008 meeting."16:47
kanzure_austin sucks.16:47

genehackerThe purpose of the reverse engineering project was for us to apply the 3d modelling skills we learned while learing engineering ethics, leadership, and how to work with other engineers. Pictured above is one of the 3D models I made for this projected, which is a projectile storage container for a toy catapult.18:32
genehackeroops wrong paste ignore above18:32
genehackerhttp://www.iip.kth.se/documents/courses/4k1131/FAA%20Systems.pdf18:32
genehackerthis is what I meant to post18:33
genehackerit's about automatic assembly18:34
genehackerIsn't this SKDB? "To form a process map of all the required functions of the assembly process and thereafter form classes which can be accounted for by ”modules”."18:35
kanzure_yep18:50
kanzure_"Lego-type interconnections (standards)"18:50
kanzure_from a few pages previous18:51
genehackeryeah18:52
genehackerso I guess I see the point to it know18:52
genehackernow18:52
genehackerthey also mention the problem of standardization18:52
genehackerguess we need standardized robot part grippers18:53
genehackerthey mention the problem with one-off automatic assembly like this is that it isn't fast18:54
genehackerhighest cost seems to be programming18:55
genehackerso what do they mean by lego type interconnections?18:59
genehackeras in the parts being made are like legos, or the robots assembling them are18:59
genehackerso the hardest part of assembling is picking up the part and holding it19:03
genehackerone way you can solve this is by making the part easy to grab by robots19:06
kanzure_http://arbesman.net/milkyway/ Milky Way Transit Authority19:15
kanzure_genehacker: robots are made from parts too19:15
kanzure_so your question ("what do you mean by lego type interconnections?") doesn't make sense to me19:15
kanzure_(the "as in the parts being made are like legos, or the robots assembling them are")19:16
genehackerare the interconnections between systems of robots or systems of parts that the robots are making19:17
kanzure_how are those two things different19:20
genehackerok so all interconnections19:21

kanzure_Ginkgo BioWorks is focused on improving biology as a substrate for engineering. We develop standards, biological parts, and technologies that allow for reliable, rapid prototyping of engineered biological systems."21:34
kanzure_gasp, they stole me.21:34
kanzure_Tom Knight, PhD21:35
kanzure_well I'll be damned21:35
kanzure_http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=550821996141  <- wtf, Joseph Jackson. *WTF*21:47
genehackercan't see it21:57
kanzure_body building transhumanist. background music is some dark metal.22:02
genehackerthat is odd22:11
