He raises doubts about the efficiency of human power and questioned its economic viability.
Just as DARPA and other humanoid robot developers have drawn on biology for design inspiration, the agency hopes that robotic actuation can approach the efficiency of human and animal actuation where muscles, tendons, and bones cooperate in highly efficient ways.
FORBES: DARPA's New Challenge: Increase Robotic Power Efficiency By 2,000 Percent
That, and improving efficiency really made human powered-flight move from sustained hops and skips to the international crossings of the Albatross.
Our new models come from industries that have learned to increase the capabilities and efficiency of the human beings who work for them.
As an added benefit, some software and e-discovery providers can monitor the speed, progress, and accuracy of the human reviewers to determine their efficiency and competency.
FORBES: Balancing Automation And Hands-On Review In E-Discovery
The company last week released the latest version of a product for research institutions to automate their regulatory compliance procedures, manage research project approvals and improve the efficiency of complicated human and animal research.
It analyzes data across sales, finance and human resources to help improve operational efficiency of companies.
Frederick Taylor, Henry Ford and Alfred Sloan among others showed how to run big organizations by delivering mass production through managing the supply chain, parsing and manufacturing demand, controlling employees as human resources, and steadily increasing efficiency through economies of scale.
However, their fundamental value lies in the human intent of the enterprise, not the efficiency of their execution.
It is also an example of some of the features that have made capitalism the only engine for truly boosting human prosperity that has been thus far discovered: the search for efficiency, the inclusiveness.
FORBES: Does Higher Education Need To Go Back To The Fifties?
Recently Cisco undertook a study of human behavior and the barriers to effective collaboration: how it affects productivity, workplace efficiency, and business results.
The railway companies complain that only 3% of crashes are caused by the sort of human error that PTC is designed to avert and that claims that the system will improve efficiency on the network are unfounded.
Too often of late, that liberalism has been expressed as a mere plea for economic efficiency, a technical claim that, justified or not, appears to ignore all that is human.
