DARPA reveals Avatar program, robot soldiers incoming DARPA, the bleeding-edge research wing of the United States Department of Defense, has revealed that it will spend millions of dollars on a project called “Avatar.” If you’ve seen the movie of the same name — the highest-grossing movie of all time — let me put your mind at rest: DARPA isn’t looking to genetically engineer blue-skinned aliens that humans can control; no, they’re developing robots. In the words of DARPA itself, the Avatar program will work on “interfaces and algorithms to enable a soldier to effectively partner with a semi-autonomous bipedal machine and allow it to act as the soldier’s surrogate.” If you’ve been following ExtremeTech for the last few months, you’re probably experiencing sweaty a mix of terror and excitement right now. Then there’s the interface: A joystick and multi-monitor display would probably do the job, or, if you really wanted to become one with your robotic avatar, you could use a virtual reality visor and a suit with sensors and actuators.
DARPA Program Aims to Help Counselors Spot Signs of Stress, PTSD Every day, 22 veterans commit suicide—a startling number prompting experts to probe for methods to curb the national epidemic. Officials are fielding a new program, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which can help experts assess the psychological state of troops and veterans early on and possibly get them the help needed before it’s too late. The Detection and Computational Analysis of Psychological Signals (DCAPS) program joins the growing inventory of measures to combat depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicides. It has tools to analyze facial expressions, body gestures and speech, both content and delivery, and inform experts on a user’s psychological state of mind or alert them to behavioral changes that could indicate problems. “We are now beginning to bring objective assessment to hard quantifiable data to make data-driven analysis, to come up with the indicators of distress,” explains Col. “There is no human in the loop here.

I didn't do it to get out of it, I wanted to put my skills to better use to help the effort.

DARPA's Top 3 Predictions For The Future By Kevin Samson When it comes to predictions, perhaps no organization on the planet is better able to make dreams a reality than the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Their “mad science” reputation already has given the world humanoid robots, drones, and the world’s most advanced surveillance systems. But they are telling us that there is much more to come. Interestingly, the timeline given by DARPA’s “Forward to the Future” video messages, seen below, is 2045 – the theorized date of The Singularity popularized by futurist Ray Kurzweil in his 2006 book The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology. With yearly (known) funding in the tens of billions of dollars, DARPA also receives untold funding for “black budget” secret projects not even subjected to presidential and congressional oversight. 1 – Human-Machine Interface This broad category includes new ways to communicate with the machines around us, even through emotions. 2 – Mind Control 3 – Nanotech Materials
Data Storage In Crystal Quartz Will Change Everything! Source: www.thespiritscience.net | Original Post Date: February 13, 2014 – You know how much I LOVE talking about new technology, right? Well, this is one that is going to blow your mind, make an excellent case for the Crystal Movement, and also mop the floor with “limited data storage” forever! There’s a new kind of storage device which many tech companies have been diving into in secret for the past few years, which Hitachi recently came out with a technology they are developing which is essentially a sheet of Quartz Glass, which could potentially save data up to 300 Million Years! If you didn’t know anything about storage devices that we currently have, but anything from records, CD’s, USB sticks, magnetic tape, none of these can even lay a finger on this new, very impressive technology. “The prototype is made of a square of quartz two centimeters wide and two millimeters thick. Now, while this is exciting, there’s more to it than just that. The Crystal Skulls References:
DARPA's Autonomous Microdrones Designed to Patrol Inside Houses by Nicholas West As drone expert, P.W. Singer said, "At this point, it doesn't really matter if you are against the technology, because it's coming." According to Singer, "The miniaturization of drones is where it really gets interesting. This has been the promise that the Air Force made quite clear in their video early last year about nanodrone tech that you can see below. DARPA is now announcing a new wave of these microdrones under the Fast Lightweight Autonomy program. For now, they clearly state "overseas" as the theater of operation, but it doesn't take much imagination to see how these microdrones could be applied in the U.S., especially amid an increasingly tense urban environment in the wake of confrontations with domestic police. (My emphasis added in press release) DARPA aims to give small unmanned aerial vehicles advanced perception and autonomy to rapidly search buildings or other cluttered environments without teleoperation.

Self-Driving Cars Programmed to Sacrifice As They Hit the Road: "Someone Is Going to Die" By Mac Slavo Self-driving cars are poised to take over U.S. roads and destroy American jobs … and they will also kill people, even if by accident. Right now, their makers are in the process of convincing Congress that they can handle their own regulations – even as they continue working out the kinks. The U.S. Senate subcommittee for Commerce, Science and Transportation heard testimony from Duke University roboticist Missy Cummings, who admitted that fatalities and accidents are inevitable as self-driving cars attempt to integrate with a busy and complex society. The London Guardian reports: The robot car revolution hit a speed bump on Tuesday as senators and tech experts sounded stern warnings about the potentially fatal risks of self-driving cars. These “standards” reflect the programming that will make sometimes fatal choices in the mix of situations that may involve innocent bystanders and no-win situations. The standards are already becoming morally complex. Read more: Top image credit
DARPA - PROJECT PEGASUS Web Bot: Andrew Basiago is predicted "planetary level" whistleblower for Mars life and time travel By Alfred Labremont Webre November 9, 2009 A September 15, 2009 report using Asymmetric Language Trend Analysis (ALTA) of data collected by the Web Bot predicts that “It is very likely that the ‘whistleblower’ who had been described in previous ALTA reports (see 1309) as emerging out of the period of the [coagulation] of the [government/officialdom of the USofA due to financial structure collapse] is a person by the name of [Andrew D. Basiago].” Clif High, administrator of the Web Bot and author of the ALTA report, states that the truth campaign of American whistle blower Andrew D. Basiago published a paper entitled The Discovery of Life on Mars on December 12, 2008 that contains photographic evidence and textual analysis of humanoid beings, animal species, carved statues, and built structures on Mars. The ALTA report also states, “[T]he linguistics both around Andrew D. Andrew D. Ed.
DARPA – The Central Planning Hub For Transhumanity | REALITY BLOG As I have been saying for years, the annual financial statements, CAFR, and budget reports of corporations and government agencies both private and public are the best source of deep information. In the case of an organization like the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA), we can find otherwise un-discussed descriptions of its “projects” simply because an agency of government that is allotted government funding must “justify” its budget. In order to justify these “advanced research projects,” mostly (and ultimately all) for military purposes, a semi-detailed description is provided in DARPA’s budget report that otherwise would not necessarily be discussed on the nightly news, or even in congress. This information, public and unclassified as it is, should be the front page story of every mainstream and alternative website and channel out there. Think again! A link to all past and present reports can be simply found at the DARPA website, here: Here are some examples… A. A. B.
