On Being Morally Expendable
Inevitably, assessing the moral value of life seems to leave us stuck between a rock and a hard place. If we hold that life is intrinsically valua ble, that commits us to respecting plants and paramecia as ends in them selves and to explaining how the change from organic to inorganic is in and of itself a moral loss. That evalu ation seems exaggerated, and who knows how even to begin to expl...
متن کاملA Flexible and Expendable Neuroimage Processor Architecture
An analog versatile neuroimage processor (VNIP) architecture is proposed here. VNIP can process various types of neural network and image processing structures, without any hardware modification. The structure allows unlimited expansion of network size and the compensation of process variation. The proof-of-concept chip is implemented, using a combination of continuous-time multiplier and switc...
متن کاملAn automatic multiple launcher for expendable probes
A main goal of a ships of opportunity program is the provision of near real time temperature profiles. The use of expandable probes allows the reduction of costs, in comparison to usual scientific cruises. A major cost effectiveness can be achieved by using an automated multiple launcher, that can be used with a minimum personnel effort. A mul-5 tiple launcher, developed in the framework of the...

متن کاملk-Survivability: Diversity and Survival of Expendable Robots
We define the k-survivability of a set of n paths as the probability that at least k out of n robots following those paths through a stochastic threat environment reach goals. High k-survivability sets tend to contain short and diverse paths. Finding sets of paths with maximum k-survivability is NPhard. We design two algorithms: a complete algorithm that finds an optimal list of paths, and a he...
