{conversation.nonsense} Q & A

Q: What is your research interest?
A: Robot vision or so people call it.

Q: Robots can’t yet see?
A: No. They are as blind as most of us. They do what they are told. They are dumb and greasy as well.

Q: Do you want to add vision to a dumb greasy blind object? How about adding thinking ability or intelligence? They would see but they won’t know what that is. Am I right?
A: Yes, you are. My concentration is on the vision. Other people are working on AI, but we all know we are missing an important dimension. We all know that our simplistic minds are far away from reverse engineering a human being (artificially and not biologically). I think many dimensions are missing. You can’t show the 3D position of a point on a plane. If you think you are smarter than I thought and you want to use perspective then try visualizing a 73D point on a plane. That’s why we can’t see what we are missing. We don’t know the dimensions of thought. Vision is a much simpler problem compared to thought. At least simplifications of a lens model work in --

Q: Err, excuse me. Did you tell me that you saw an optometrist the other day for your eye problem?
A: You interrupted me! Yes and he said that I had been working more than I should in front of these devilish monitors and I might even lose my eyesight if I continued to abuse my eyes.

Q: I am completely confused now. Do you want to sacrifice your eyes to add an eye (or two eyes) to a dumb monocular (or binocular) robot? It does not make any sense.
A: Nothing makes sense in this world. Do you realize that you have wasted your time and more importantly have irritated your precious eyes by reading this nonsense? By the way, why do people call you Q? I know why I am called A.
