Posted on October 26, 2012 by robertwilkie

Nice idea of using quad copter bots to help swarm bots (on the ground) get from one point to the other.  Any military applications here? http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/artificial-intelligence/iros-2012-ar-drone-helps-swarm-of-selfassembling-robots-to-overcome-obstacles#disqus_thread

Xerox a good Corporate Citizen

Posted on October 25, 2012 by robertwilkie

What I want to know, is apparently Xerox gets this great rating partly from surveying employees.  Do you know anyone that was surveyed? http://www.4-traders.com/XEROX-CORPORATION-14979/news/Xerox-Corporation-Xerox-Releases-2012-Global-Citizenship-Report-15245977/

The End of Xerox

Posted on October 25, 2012 by robertwilkie

Basically the author does not paint a good picture for Xerox’s CEO and basically is saying she is sinking the company.  Good short reading articles. http://www.livetradingnews.com/the-end-of-xerox-nysexrx-90908.htm http://247wallst.com/2012/10/23/xerox-ceo-ursula-burns-kills-the-company/
