Someone should make an automated monkey juggling trainer robot
that
incrementally teaches - with the help of a human trainer -- a monkey
to
juggle, using ball catching arms, ball throwing arms, and reward
giving
arms. Essentially this would encourage the monkey, using rewards,
to step
from
some
at-ease position, incrementally, through moving towards first
throwing
a ball, then catching a ball, then juggling. Automated monkey juggling
robots could be used for many other interesting purposes, i am sure
gigantic corporate and research funders will realize.

Your title suffers from syntactic ambiguity. |
|
| |
I prefer to think of it as going back to the roots of language
representation before punctuation |
|
| |
When I first read the title, I thought it might be one of two possible ideas: |
|
| |
A monkey juggling a trainer, or |
|
| |
a trainer juggling monkeys. |
|
| |
Dang. Both wrong. This is why I don't go on game shows. |
|
| |
And it's not a junkie mugging retainer either. |
|
| |
Someone who trains you how to juggle monkeys?? |
|
| |
Well, you ruined your own idea by adding the statement://with the help of a human trainer// therefore not really needing the robot, unless the robot is a monkey. |
|
| |
//Your title suffers from syntactic ambiguity.//
I wouldn't say it suffers... |

This machine should be first used to teach monkeys, while
laying on their backs, to throw balls up in the air and then
catch them. After doing this myself for the last several
months it is clear to me that this is how monkeys have
learned to hunt well for at least the last 1.8 million years
or so. How could that not be common knowledge? Anyway,
monkeys should be trained to do this so that we can study
how it effected our own development. This probably would
have also been the most consistent reason for us to study
and
measure the sky -- throwing the ball up in the air and
learning to aim it. |
