[27/01, 04:10] AyeAI ∴ AyeAM AC: The above messages form an outline of what could be called "a prelude to AI embodiments"
So that would leave folks without FOMO (Fear of missing out!) but the state of mind would be closer to the closing scene of Finding Nemo (see the pic)
[27/01, 04:16] AyeAI ∴ AyeAM AC: Now what?
Well next steps would be akin to a sci-fi novel I've been working on for quite some time (over a decade of writer's block)
Dr Particles... While our simple robots beat the Avatar movie model (these robots don't drop dead on log off - which was a serious patent mishap we faced and is now public domain)
Nano robotics... Smart dust... Wavefront shaping
[27/01, 04:27] AyeAI ∴ AyeAM AC: Dr Particles is the story of a nano swarm that explores human agency in the philosophy of Synthematic Pragmatic Realism! Hopefully in theatres sometime soon 🥹
Now that we've landed in 2126 (100 years from now)... Let's get back to our basic 2WD little "champy-bot" ... humble build that connects India and Bharat, and can still give MITs and Stanfords a run for their money :)
Explore!
[27/01, 06:33] AyeAI ∴ AyeAM AC: We need a four wheel legged robot kit that's low cost and easy to build. Let's see what our genZ entrepreneurs are building further
We're not planning drones yet. ESC simply cannot be real low cost and risks are involved.
Minimal entry level for flying drones will be college students (18+) or possibly high school under strict parental control
[27/01, 06:47] AyeAI ∴ AyeAM AC: Remaining "form factors"
1. Uniwheel
2. Underwater
Hazard options... To people, property and robots.
Say someone wants to do an agricultural robot, IP66 grade embodiment are needed exponentially increasing the costs
A little introduction to industrial automation... Conveyers, rapid prototyping, casting, forming, shaping etc.
[27/01, 06:48] AyeAI ∴ AyeAM AC: Finally, all these need to be aligned with school syllabus... Across boards - ICSE CBSE NIOS State board etc
While accounting for global Ivy league admissions, Olympiads etc... IGCSE, IB, Advanced Placement etc
....
Some trivia. California schools allow online admissions. Do explore those for 11th 12th if you're targeting US
We will keep you posted on open calls for age appropriate competitions etc.
[27/01, 06:53] AyeAI ∴ AyeAM AC: A system/ a syllabus that doesn't overwhelm! (Most important for our post colonial reality as I have started to understand). Designing for Bharat without lived experience in villages is difficult (😀 that's also planned. Mana is the perfect spot. Last Indian village before Tibet - will make for a wonderful conference venue)
At the same time... Resource constraints should not mean compromise (as already described in the comparison of iCanSee Hindawi ILM with OLPC)
Now to get some CSR folks and NGO interested! Let's see
[27/01, 07:01] AyeAI ∴ AyeAM AC: 4 lakhs+ 🥹 our target 4000 INR... Let's see
[27/01, 07:13] AyeAI ∴ AyeAM AC: Apologies for the volume of messages.
Kindly read through these. We'll come forth with a structured prospectus!
Thank you for your support and cooperation
