Analysis of the growing number of available fully-sequenced genomes has shown that Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) in eukaryotes is more common than previously thought. It has been proposed that genes with certain functions may be more prone to HGT th...

Interacting with robots as performers and producers of music (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Chamberlain, A., Page, K., De Roure, D., & Klyne, G. (2016). Interacting with robots as performers and producers of music.

Is it really so strange to think about a robot as something, or perhaps someone that can produce music, as a performer or even as a composer? What happens when robots perform on stage to live audiences, and when they are perceived as intelligent? In... Read More about Interacting with robots as performers and producers of music.
