About this blog
This blog explores the fields that embrace the development of an ecology of soft and sentient machines that will help and assist humans in the broadest possible sense to support and sustain our welfare.
You will find entries on biology, robotics, artificial intelligence, ecology, science-fiction, neuroscience... and many more that converge around questions like: what does it take to make our assisting machines sentient?
The blog is written by the Coordination Action initiative of the Future Emerging Technologies (FET) programme of the EU, named "Robot Companions for Citizens". Click here for more information on that initiative.
