Repeating experiments and replicating results are key parts of successful scientific research. But in the field of robotics, working with different software platforms on different machines means that replication can be difficult. A $5 million National Science Foundation project led by Oregon State University aims to help with this challenge by building and distributing 50 standardized robots throughout the research community. The robot’s expressive face and gesturing arms are meant to help researchers study how humans and robots should interact in the workplace and other social environments. Bill Smart is a professor in OSU’s robotics program and one of the leaders of the project. He joins us to explain how a standardized robot could help accelerate research.

A Positive Life: HIV from Terrence Higgins to Today

Sam Smith explores how AIDS became headline news in the 1980s, and how communities came together to raise public awareness - and fight a growing tide of fear and stigma. Terry Higgins' death in 1982 was one of the first in the UK from an AIDS-related illness. In the years that followed, a steady drip of information - as well as misinformation - slowly spread about HIV. Much of the early, pioneering work around HIV was done by volunteer organisations from within the queer community, like the London Lesbian and Gay Switchboard and the Terrence Higgins Trust - while many of their members simultaneously faced their own ill health, and the deaths of friends and loved ones. The people most affected by HIV faced horrendous prejudice: in 1986, the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester, James Anderton stated publically that gay men, drug users and sex workers were "swirling about in a human cesspit of their own making." The British government eventually launched one of the biggest public information campaigns in UK history - with the slogan Don't Die Of Ignorance. It delivered facts about HIV onto TV screens and onto the doorsteps of every household in Britain. But it also stigmatised the condition even more. Sam Smith discovers what it was like to live through that period from writer Juno Roche, Bill Smart who worked in Manchester's gay bars, and Lisa Power, a former volunteer at Switchboard and one of the founders of Stonewall, about how they brought people from the queer community together to share information - and support those who were living with HIV in a time before effective treatment. In "A Positive Life", singer Sam Smith presents stories of HIV in the UK over the last forty years. They hear from people who remember the earliest years of the AIDS crisis; the grassroots activists and marginalised communities who came together to fight stigma and raise public awareness; and a new generation living with effective treatments for HIV in a radically-changed world.

  During this exploration of everyday life in the future, we’re looking at pets. In the shiny world of tomorrow, you won’t be walking any old run-of-the-mill Fido—because we’ll have high-tech cuddling machines.   Robot pets have graced the pages of Popular Science on more than a few occasions. But first, we had to figure out what people want in a pet. In 1893, we laid out the parameters for designing the ideal (live) pet. And things have only gotten more complicated—and interesting—from there. In the future, it won’t be so strange to have a pet that runs on batteries instead of kibble. And perhaps, instead of just keeping us company, they’ll also do our bidding.   In this episode, we talk to Gail Melson, a psychologist at Purdue University who has studied how people react to real and robotic animals; Jean-Loup Rault, who researches animal behavior and welfare at the University of Melbourne in Australia; Dan Goldman, a physicist at the University of Georgia who designs robots that model real animals; and last but not least, Bill Smart, a roboticist at Oregon State University.   If you’ve ever dreamed of having a dog that doesn’t need to be walked, a cat that doesn’t require a litter box, or a 3-D printed interactive unicorn, look no further.   Futuropolis is a biweekly podcast on the Panoply network.

Is science beautiful? How can it help us seek the divine? Dr. Bill Smart will look at the confluence of astrophysics, Genesis, evolution, and faith while helping us discover an appreciation of the created order. Understanding the beauty of scientific methodology leads not to a denial of the transcendent, but to a discovery of it. William Smart, Ph.D. is professor of Biology and Associate Provost at Aquinas College. A dynamic and engaging professor, he has taught at Aquinas since 1999 and is currently an Associate Professor of biology. He has enjoyed being a part of the growth of Aquinas and remains an active part of strategic planning for the campus, including overseeing the process for reaffirmation of accreditation in 2011. Dr. Smart received his Ph.D. in Microbiology from the University of Tennessee. His presentations and publications range in topics from yeast genetics to the relationship of science and Sacred Scripture. He lives in Dickson with his wife and son.
