"He tried to download his mental contents into a nonhu-manoid robot, but this partially failed, such that he was rendered mutely sentient within this machine until another robotics expert wired him to another humanoid robot, literally with an umbilicus, so that Bailey, resident within the robot called Herbert, operates a remote called Clancy, and this becomes his vehicle in the world. Philippe, the robotics expert, after great mechanical struggle, midwifes Bailey's oxymoronic return to his senses, using the Clancy robot as his remote Double." - Richard Leviton, Physician: Medicine and the Unsuspected Battle for Human Freedom (Get the book.)

"Benveniste had a robot built to carry out this experiment, largely to silence his critics by eliminating the potential bias of human interference. The robot was a box with an arm that moved in three directions, mechanically exposing the water containing calcium to the heparin in several easy steps. After hundreds of such experiments, Benveniste discovered that the procedure usually worked well except on days when a certain woman—an otherwise experienced scientist—was present. Benveniste suspected that the woman must be emitting some form of waves that were blocking the signals." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "As soon as the man left and the shield was put up, the robot no longer produced decent data. This suggested that, just as some people inhibited equipment, others enhanced it. The shield, originally erected to stop negative influences, had blocked positive ones as well. Benveniste reasoned that the only substance near the robot capable of picking up positive or negative activity was the tube of water, so he asked the head lab technician to hold the tube in his pocket for two hours. He then put the tube into the machine, removed the man from the room, and put up the shield." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"In it, day-old chicks were put in the same room with a robot that had a picture of a mother hen on it. The robot had been programmed to move randomly; however, when the baby chicks looked at it, the randomness was disrupted. When observed by the baby chicks, the robot's patterns of movement deviated toward the chicks to a statistically significant degree. Apparently, as I suspected in my pre-adolescent teens, chicks may rule the universe." - Richard Bartlett, Matrix Energetics: The Science and Art of Transformation (Get the book.)

"In the presence of the chicks' intention, the robot's movements were no longer random; it approached the cage of chicks two and a half times more often than it would approach an empty cage (B).12 cage Robot's path with empty cage (A) cage Robot's path with with chicks (B) Another possible explanation for distant healing comes from string theory. String theory explains phenomena like electron tunneling. "Tunneling" is a misleading term, since it implies that electrons travel through a tunnel. But in fact, they don't." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"And the year 2000 saw the first American coronary bypass surgery performed by a robot called da Vinci. Robotic surgery is not a vision for the future. It is technology that is slowly being introduced to hospital operating rooms across the country, for a limited number of operations. The Food and Drug Administration has to approve each new use. But scientists estimate that eventually robotic surgery will be used in more than four million medical procedures each year in the United States alone. Here's an example of how robotic surgery works. You need your gallbladder removed." - Garcia Oz, Sharyn Kolberg, The Healthy High-tech Body (Get the book.)

"Over eighty similar studies, in which a lighted candle was placed on a movable REG, baby chicks kept in the dark, finding the light comforting, managed to influence the robot to spend more time than normal in the vicinity of their cages.13 The largest and most persuasive body of research has been amassed by William Braud, a psychologist and the research director of the Mind Science Foundation in San Antonio, Texas, and, later, the Institute of Transper-sonal Psychology." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "After that, the robot's experiments worked virtually 100 percent of the time.25 These anecdotal stories of the gremlin effect are not so far-fetched when you consider the mountains of data generated by the PEAR laboratory, demonstrating that human intention has the ability to make the random output of computers more orderly even when the intention is not conscious or deliberate. Living consciousness might have a major effect on microprocessor technology, which is now exquisitely sensitive. The tiniest disturbances in a quantum process can be highly disruptive." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"He used a self-propelled robot he called a "Tychoscope," which contained a random number generator. He monitored its movements on a plotter. When it was put in a room, the plotter tracking the robot's movements found that it indeed moved around the room in an entirely arbitrary way (A), at random angles and for random lengths of travel. He then introduced a cage of chicks at one end of the room. The chicks had been trained to relate to the Tychoscope as though it were the mother hen." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"Though a separate book could be written on potential products, I propose development in the following areas: Computers as caregivers Though it may initially conjure up images of the robot maid on The Jet-sons, the notion of programming computers to offer caregiving assistance is not so far-fetched." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"The most favored idea is that there exists a genetic 'program' of genes operating collectively to determine shape, or, in the view of neo-Darwinists such as Richard Dawkins, that ruthless genes, like Chicago thugs, have powers to create form and that we are 'survival machines' ?robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes.5 This theory promotes DNA as the Renaissance man of the human body - architect, master builder and central engine room - whose tool for all this amazing activity is a handful of the chemicals which make proteins." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "In his own lab, Benveniste conducted several experiments, by hand and by robot, to isolate what it was the woman was doing which prevented the experiment from working. Her scientific method was impeccable and she followed the protocol to the letter. The woman herself, a doctor and biologist, was an experienced, meticulous worker. Nevertheless, on no occasion did she get any results. After six months of such studies there was only a single conclusion: something about her very presence was preventing a positive result." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "He might send his robot to a laboratory in Cambridge, and if they got poor results as a result of a particular person, the lab would conclude that the experiment itself was at fault, when the problem had to do with something or someone in the environment. There is nothing subtle about biological effects. Change the structure or shape of a molecule only slightly and you will completely alter the ability of the molecule to slot in with its receptor cells. On or off, success or failure. A drug works or it doesn't." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"When the ego is in control, we respond to life's circumstances like a robot without realizing it. Our real self is the humble, patient, loving, and confident spirit behind the noise, distraction, and confusion in our mind. When we say that we are not our mind, it is more correct to say that we are not our egoic mind. However, before we can see through the mind chatter illusion and naturally operate from spirit, we need to become aware of our emotional body. THE EMOTIONAL BODY Our emotional body comprises the collective energy of our feelings, as well as the memory of our past feelings." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"In the GM ad, which appeared during the Super Bowl broadcast, an assembly-line robot hurls itself off a bridge after committing an error; in the Washington Mutual spot, despondent bankers are poised to jump off a building; and in the VW ad, a man is about to jump off a ledge until he learns that he can buy a new VW for under $17,000. Mental health advocacy groups and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention found the material offensive and wrote public letters to the corporations." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"In response to this silent threat, artist Sabrina Raaf has created a carbon-sniffing robot. This squat automated vehicle patrols the periphery of a room armed with a green crayon. Every few inches, the robot takes a reading of the carbon dioxide level in that particular spot and makes a vertical mark—corresponding with the C02 concentration—on the wall. The accumulation of green lines begins to resemble grass, its growth visible to—and entirely determined by—gallery visitors." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"When it was put in a room, the plotter tracking the robot's movements found that it indeed moved around the room in an entirely arbitrary way (A), at random angles and for random lengths of travel. He then introduced a cage of chicks at one end of the room. The chicks had been trained to relate to the Tychoscope as though it were the mother hen. In the presence of the chicks' intention, the robot's movements were no longer random; it approached the cage of chicks two and a half times more often than it would approach an empty cage (B)." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"A device that accomplishes tasks similar to those a human can perform and that reacts to at least some changes in the environment is called a robot. Robots may or may not be made to resemble humans, although many have parts that are similar to human arms, hands, or eyes. The first robot to be manufactured and sold (in 1962, but based on a 1954 design) was an arm that performed repetitive tasks in automobile factories. The earliest models could be programmed to perform different tasks, but lacked sensors to recognize sizes or shapes of objects." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"After a time, the evidence was clear - the robot was moving toward the chicks more than it would do if it were wandering randomly. The desire of the chicks to be near their mother was an 'inferred intention' that appeared to be having an effect in drawing the machine nearer.'2 Peoc'h carried out a similar study with baby rabbits. He placed a bright light on the moveable REG that the baby rabbits found abhorrent. When the data from the experiment were analyzed, it appeared that the rabbits were successfully willing the machine to stay away from them. Jahn and Dunne began to formulate a theory." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"The antivivisection movement changes its focus to robot rights. Space homes hit the markets, but only become broadly affordable when a space cable is built with carbon nanotubes from Earth up to geosynchronous orbit. The Moon is used for tourism, but most prefer to stay in Earth orbit or zone out at home on designer drugs and virtual reality. Scientists slow light to a stop, and then speed it up again (whoops, that happened in 2001)." - Douglas Mulhall, Our Molecular Future: How Nanotechnology, Robotics, Genetics and Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Our World (Get the book.) "Here's an early description, although it depicts only one of many variants: A fractal robot is... made from motorized cubic bricks that move under computer control. These cubic motorized bricks can be programmed to shuffle themselves to . .. make objects like a house ... because of their motorized internal mechanisms. It is . . . like kids playing with Lego bricks making a toy house by snapping together plastic bricks—except a computer performs the shuffling operation. .. ." - Douglas Mulhall, Our Molecular Future: How Nanotechnology, Robotics, Genetics and Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Our World (Get the book.) "A more human-friendly cyborg came along in 2000 with the film version of Isaac Asimov's Bicentennial Man^1 about a self-educated robot that decides in the end he wants to die as a human. The famously sexy Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Voyager gave this theme a twist as a liberated humanoid prisoner of the Borg mind collective who recovered her humanity. Then, in 2001, Steven Spielberg completed Stanley Kubrick's final work, A.I." - Douglas Mulhall, Our Molecular Future: How Nanotechnology, Robotics, Genetics and Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Our World (Get the book.)

"The 911 operator said he sounded more like a robot than a person. He then called his sister (his brother-in-law's wife), who also indicated that he sounded like a robot. His sister obviously knew how he normally sounded. His mind was obviously not his own. Both Gwen and her niece Megan, (her sister's daughter), grew up in very dysfunctional families, which she describes in considerable detail in her book Confessions of an Rx Drug Pusher: God's Call To Loving Arms (2005). Following Megan's untimely death, Gwen did some serious soul-searching." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"That is why you and I can easily pick out a person from a background of trees and buildings, and recognize them as someone we know, all in a fraction of a second, while a robot still has a hard time following the white line down the middle of the road. However, if computing power keeps doubling every eighteen months, as it has done for the last twenty years, then some time in the 2030s there will be computers that can equal the human brain's abilities. From there, it is only a small step to the computer that can surpass the human brain." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"Soon, however, robot arms that could distinguish the objects by weight or temperature or shape became available. Another group of useful robots began with the space program. The best examples are the various Mars rovers, such as Sojourner, Spirit, and Opportunity which move through the landscape, detecting obstacles and compensating for them, and also sample and analyze rocks and soil. Because of the time lag for signals to reach Mars from Earth and return, the rovers had to be given robot skills." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"What unifies this sunny cabal, alongside their above-average fruit purchases, is an interest in playing sports and (say the following with a robot voice) having new experiences. Summer Enthusiasts "believe having fun is the point of life, think continuing to learn throughout life is very important, believe enjoying life and doing the things they want to do is important." Over 111 million Americans—in an estimated 53 percent of households—are Summer Enthusiasts. Another important fruit buying subset is "Light Lifestylers"—people who are health conscious and like to exercise." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"The first robot to be manufactured and sold (in 1962, but based on a 1954 design) was an arm that performed repetitive tasks in automobile factories. The earliest models could be programmed to perform different tasks, but lacked sensors to recognize sizes or shapes of objects. Although called robots, their capabilities were about the same as a player piano, which plays different songs when different music rolls are inserted. Soon, however, robot arms that could distinguish the objects by weight or temperature or shape became available." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"Given how ignorant we remain about how nature works in the planet's marine depths, exploration of the oceans has changed from being merely a bold scientific adven- The Technolocjy of Ocean Exploration ¦¦¦¦ robot submarines. Deep-sea sensors. Radio-tagged fish. DNA analysis. Satellite mapping. Not long ago, oceanography meant dipping a net over the side of a boat. Now, those days are long gone. Oceanographers and ocean biologists now have technologies at their fingertips that rival those of space explorers." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Surely you remember that scene where the robot droid is floating around his body, engaging Luke's primitive skills with a light saber by firing randomly at him as if they were fencing with lasers. Luke was getting clobbered by the droid, until, at the point of total frustration, Obi-Wan blindfolds him and has him learn to extend his feelings through the agency of the Force so that he can sense the droid's attack before it actually occurs. At first, Luke gets the worst end of the battle. Then his mind calms and he begins to feel a connection with the movements of the droid." - Richard Bartlett, Matrix Energetics: The Science and Art of Transformation (Get the book.)
