Top Posts the cxx compiler identification is unknown what is a bitcoin mining contract what should my gpu temp be how do you convert bitcoin to cash maximum length of usb 3. It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons! January edited January in Projects. By giving each machine its own budget, allowing it to charge for the work it does for the rest of the network of machines and letting it buy its own materials and alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire, the idea of alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire the "Distributed Manufacturing" title begin to take on a dimension of plausibility once you add Cryptocurrency to the mix.
If the Meta-control system were turned into a DAC Digital Autonomous Corporation the system then has the potential to incentivize engineers, machinists, makers, hackers, coders and customers to use the system, contribute to its growth and the growth in alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire library of Digital patterns that it uses to create parts and assemblies. My hope is that once you understand the contribution decentralized manufacturing can make to democratizing access to physical goods, You'll realize it is to material wealth what bitcoin is to money.
I'm interested in applying DAC to p2p automated transport - drones and ground vehicles. Yes, I'm very aware of the parallels and applaud your insight, I'll be running ROS on the hardware, but the "meta manager" that guides the overall system behavior will hopefully be an nyoc based DAC so hopefully we can find lots of crossover and leverage both projects.
Have you alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire the Technocopia project? They already have a full CNC-based workshop in Boston and are working towards exactly what you mention. Needless to say, they're very interested. You might look into hooking up with them. I'm certainly willing to work on this, too, though.
The website probably needs a workover for information content again, I had a wiki for some time, but it needs to be re-built changed hosts - technocopia looks very cool and I definitely do want to talk to them Here is a link to some photo's of the system https: I saw something by Adam B.
Levine talking about something alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire on the protoshares's site. I think he had a bounty up for a spec. January edited January There IS a 3d printer design, based on the Ultimaker 1 printer, there is alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire a 3 axis CNC milling machine, and this has designs for a tool-changer, a tool alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire, a tool grinder and modular tooling on transportable pallets. I also have looked at building a laser cutter for flat work, a laser tubing notcher, a plasma table, a vacuum former, Motor winder and a long list of additional machines, including the pallet loading and transporting system.
The real advantage to the system is a modular, standards based "form factor" that all the machines conform to, it scales up from a relatively small mm cube up to a 2. Alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire modules performing different functions can be slid into the frames to make any machine carry out any function that has been built to that point in time. The modules order can be dynamically re-arranged to optimize workflow through a system of cubes All the basic, general purpose machines are open source, the software is also open source.
The control system runs on almost any general purpose single board computer like Alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire, Beaglebone, also industrial boards the control software is a modified version of ROS Robot Operating System http: A happy hopeful dream.
BTW the lunar vacuum would be great for 3-d metal printing no? The code for the blackbox of the technology of a civilization and the code to rebuild at another exosolar venue?
I am sure there is funding, base, and i agree it could be self-organizing funding. What are the best chip technologies for Cnc and 3D printing. If cpu then bring on the arms race for alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire coin for the eventual repurpose for the builds.
This premise has been laid out in science fiction a huge number of times since the '60's - one of my favorite treatments of the concept is the example in James Hogans "Code of the Lifemaker" where a self spreading factory crashes, is damaged, builds alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire wrong, ends up starting a machine society that evolves as successive phases include variations to compensate for missing processes - great stuff, but Sci-Fi has it too easy, building real stuff is much more alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire Too many good books to read, too little time!!!
Thanks for the recommendation Cubespawn! So some generalities have emerged as this idea is examined: Agents trusted by the network and by other agents - works like Reddit up-vote redux, meaning a rating system from users, contributors and customers of the system AS WELL AS a rating from the machines. The machines would rate based on thing like: Commission a new system, scaled by where its needed small percentage bonuses for locations devoid of service at commission time Submitting a new machine design: Very small incentive for a new design, alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire by ratings from trusted agents.
Alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire similar pattern applied to Enhancements to existing machines for accuracy, speed, efficiency and a mechanism for scaling demand for fulfilling system requests from all agents ex: And, of course, features to the control software, materials handling, supply chain management etc etc sub-systems alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire work in a similar, if not identical, fashion All of this fits in to 6 general incentivized classes: Adding to the network i.
CubeSpawn, this sounds well thought through indeed. With the right incentive schemes, people will flock. It's like the wild west once was. I have another bullet point. What about integrating a market for engineering services. Much like a fusion of stackoverflow and crowd-working. One posts the challenge, and experienced engineers flesh out alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire manufacturing plan whereas the design er that is chosen by the client is rewarded in ETH and added reputation.
I guess this somehow extends the point of "Adding digital templates to the system for products alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire selling new templates" and would alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire engineering capacity to where it is needed, plus draw in less technically declined people.
I love this idea. Rather than a strictly self-reproducing machine, it's more like an autocatalytic network, so it's appropriate that the DNA reside at least partly in the block chain. Now, to close the loop, we alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire it to be able to create decentralized power systems, such as wind or solar, and then you need a disintecube--something to reduce garbage down to feedstock for the other cubes.
This last step is part of the cradle-to-cradle vision of an industrial ecosystem. Probably too hard a problem for now, but combining all these things does lead to the possibility of radical decentralization and community resilience. February edited February Karl, thats why Alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire threw the donation link in - my team and I are building a demonstration community outside of San Antonio, TX on a acre eco-ranch. Closed loop food, water, power, recycling, industrial production - we have several novel systems at various stages of completion: With the goal of evolving it toward better solutions for the foreseeable future It's being described as a "resource recovery system".
It alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire be no problem adapting it for the garbage reduction to energy derivative you describe. You can see the live version when running at http: I like the vision. Now officially best thread ever on these forums. I could see some "materials extraction" from a Gasifier, since with the right catalytic plates in the gas stream, you can recombine the produced "syngas" synthesis gas into oils, waxes, plastics, and a number of petroleum based fuels JP4,5 Diesel, gasoline but it appears EdenEnergy is extending the process to substantially more sophisticated chemical extraction "downstream" in the gassification process, to be frank, I'm a alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire daunted by the control software, the mechanical GP machines, and an nyoc based Management DAC portions of the system - this is exactly why I believe it MUST be an open source project, since many of the minds developing for the overall system will contain insight I'd never have on alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire own - Powerful insight comtechnet?
I'm glad somebody's doing this stuff. Hopefully we'll soon be shoveling our landfill into these things and making houses and cars from the output. I am privy to a resource recovery project here in Japan that's in the same space. Making these resource recovery systems completely self controlling would make sense for countries where labor costs are high but possibly not alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire all export markets.
Well I guess it depends on the regulatory and disaster recovery protocols in place. It would be great if we could MindposeidonI'm all for modular solutions with broad applicability, since re-re-re-reinventing the wheel seems re-redundant, Alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire think that similar to the analysis mentioned in the Max Keiser nyoc episode: Combining the contributions of many developers with different, but overlapping solutions should speed up the process of getting alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire working skeleton available I'm trying to understand a business model that might work here.
I talked to the folks at EEW. They have the entire system using 24 volt DC motors fans. So the system can basically "self start" with a match, get up to speed and then "run". There is one subsystem, that basically is a heat alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire in reverse - takes the heat - makes electricity. So - any waste and make power. So do we "nyocize" this process? This is probably blasphemy on my part, but the nyoc code in CubeSpawn at least does very little actual alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire system control, simply because there are better, purpose built, mature tools to control robots and automation: So in my view the nyoc portion of the system acts as a web appliance to collect performance and status information from the CubeSpawn array, then broker the connection to other geo-physically close systems for all the magic schedule coordination, capability advertising, capacity sharing, payments and so forth The nyoc "Module" is very compact, and lightweight, harnesses the CubeSpawn arrays capabilities and nyocizes the Web facing interface.
I can't imagine that the EEW system whether adapted to a CubeSpawn form factor, or otherwise would be much different - most of what the nyoc Module "knows" about the system state would be summary information as tasks where completed so building the interface between some system and the nyoc module which I envision on alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire beagle bone, R-Pi or industrial embedded Single Board Computer or System on a Chip amounts to formatting a summary report from a system controller or providing each system with an Alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire to talk to the other for discovery Also, sorting and separation processes "upstream" will have pulled out the "elemental" trash glass, metals, assemblies and any intelligent system will trend toward goods designed for recycling Your feedback appreciated.
How alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire the chains of supply created interact with each other. Operations are in my view are definitely a big constraint, business networks are formed alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire a result of human communication.
Decision making, in my understanding should remain with users. As you said ideas and implementation have a huge gap of hard work in between. I understand you must still create an interface for effective decisive control. I am currently working on my own designs for an Enterprise Software with a few teammates. Would love to gain some wisdom from your experience in the field. Management theory is the realm of cybernetics--a different way of using computers.
Operations, decision making, we're talking feedback systems and Requisite Variety here. All the "intelligence" in the system is human intelligence, moderated through a management system for narrow, purpose specific signals to the alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire. I had a discussion today with Daniel Larimer Bitshares CEO about a DAC for manufacturing and he expressed well reasoned doubts about the ability of the current state of alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire art in DACs to manage the complexity, he made several good points, but since I do not see this system as needing to evaluate its decisions quite as thoroughly, I'm more optimistic.
This is not an intelligent cybernetic marvel, its just a partially automated incentive program - making it a DAC helps automate the process, to participate you have to provably have a system and meet other requirements as yet undefined starting out in this simple way still accomplishes the desired goal incentivise users, engineering, programmers etc WITHOUT setting the threshold so high its un-doable, or pushing the alethzero ethereum lifestaffordshire out so far its not meaningful.
