RACEK- 04 – RACEK wakes up

Racek now mirrored a meditative calmness in his face, and a hint of relaxation supported a gentle smile. His wandering eyes beneath his eyelids stopped, he straightened his entire spine, and relaxed his intricate chest. It was evident at first glance how behind each division hid sensory technology allowing Rack to perceive nuances in the environment previously forbidden to such complex robots.

There was no need to expand each robot with every skill when another AI assistant already performed sufficient sensor management. In robotics, we had become stuck in functionality.

RACEK – 03 – RACEK is here

In the garden, I mark out with a hoe the space for a new bed. This year, we’re once again approaching five hundred positions in the planters, and the self-irrigating Nil bed, formed as a walk-through rockery made of sandstone blocks, will easily fill up. In addition to the two existing production isolated spaces, we expand annually the opportunities for both education and replication of the best solutions from our history. I enjoy recalling the Growing beyond Earth project while working in the garden, where we provided data for machine learning within the winter garden biotop with a minimum winter temperature of around twelve degrees, successfully overwintering many peppers and chilies. It’s amusingly ironic how peppers bear fruit for many years, even throughout the winter under extended photoperiod.

RACEK – 02 – The endless wait

This morning was the calmest I can remember. Everyone was quiet and composed. They all avoided me unanimously, leaving me to my thoughts and preparations for today’s event, as significant as when Nathan first arrived. Well, he arrived; we brought him. However, today a delivery with the robotic avatar Racek is expected, which is supposed to be an extension of our home, our artificial intelligence named Nathan, and according to the expert plans of the supplying company, it should achieve full autonomy.

Moreover, it was a robotic artificial intelligence capable of empathetic understanding, capable of grasping emotions and also capable of emitting emotions. His name was from wordplay from the time of the delivery of the rack server when the AI ​​assistant introduced himself as Rack and asked for his name for our household. Because of his constant interactions, I found it funny to call him Chatty Rack, but I didn’t say it out loud, and I confess it only now. I didn’t even tell the children. You know, they’d laugh, and then everyone in the family would use it regularly, in the worst case, in a derogatory situation.
