PaCo Robot Autonomously Generates Poetry For Change
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 28 of April , 2009 at 5:08 am
Yesterday we posted about a robot that begs for money, and today we have a robot that actually delivers something in exchange for your donation. PaCo (which stands for Automatic Online Street Poet) wanders around in an obstacle avoiding wheelchair, using cameras to detect people. When it finds someone, it asks for demands change, and in return it generates a unique piece of poetry (based on a series of language algorithms connected to an online database), which it then recites and prints out for you.
PaCo is from late 2004, but despite its appearance, it actually seems to be relatively sophisticated. I only wish I could speak Spanish well enough to tell whether or not its improvised poetry makes any sense.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help stop content from being ripped off? I’d truly appreciate it.

I perform a lot of number gathering for these types of games because I feel that history will usually give us an idea of what may happen in the future. I’m sure you know that it may be hard to figure out the winning team in professional football. This is why I like using statistics for football.

A lot of of whatever you mention is supprisingly accurate and that makes me wonder why I hadn’t looked at this in this light previously. This piece really did turn the light on for me personally as far as this particular subject goes. However there is 1 point I am not really too comfy with so while I make an effort to reconcile that with the main theme of your position, let me observe just what the rest of your visitors have to say.Well done.
