Talk:Mark Tilden

Untitled
"He is a controversial robotics physicist" - can someone elaborate on this? I'm dying to know how one stirs up controversy in the field of robotics.

 * The controversy arises from the fact that his robots are controlled via feedback loops rather than traditional programming, and at least in the early days of BEAM, luminaries like Marvin Minsky refused to believe his robots were anything other than a radio-controlled hoax because they did amazing things with a tiny amount of circuitry. Also, his philosophy (at least pre-WowWee) has been that he should aid the robots' evolution as if it were a biological process, as opposed to designing things outright.  His robots are essentially constructed living things, not computers with attachments. 216.254.25.199 09:33, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm returning it because the current article reads like a press release, and doesn't mention Tilden's Laws of Robotics, which IMHO are controversial for being near-opposites of Asimov's fictional but famous Three Laws of Robotics. I'm somewhat nonplussed by the previous editors' insistance on anonymity.Jweaver28 (talk) 16:56, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation
Shouldn't this be listed on the "Tilden" disambiguation list? (Not sure how to put it there myself...) 193.217.200.209 01:15, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
