    It will not be possible for humans, as a collective consciousness, to live free of karma until it is transmuted on a collective basis as well.

  • Thesis: Investigating Dynamics for Artificial Consciousness and Nanorobotics
    Nkululeko Kunene
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: In this paper we explore analogies in autonomous creations and relationship they have with biological systems. Identifying functions provided by local space autonomy thus enhancing the plethora of novel ideas habitable by machinations of models to create attachments of pure robotic contexts. Autonomous creations are products resulting from bionics to specific requirements constricted by person’s ability. Bionics have shaped a new understanding on scientific and technological communities by the preceding discoveries within the fields of materials science, engineering, and related fields towards the forthcoming breakthrough of advanced applied soft monetary intelligence systems effected with biomimetics. Based on recent findings we now have technologies entrusted to mimic biological systems functions, regarding cognitive habits as the source towards the planning, research and development of new products and again cognitive habits are positioned at a standpoint as the emanation of advanced research projects. Following is a broad scale research conducted to explore and learn autonomous creations analogy.
  • Article: On-Orbit Service: Robotics Proposal for Orbital Debris Removal Robots
    Nkululeko Kunene
    [show abstract] [hide abstract]
    ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on threats stressed by space-based pollution towards the ISS and the possible solutions that can be formulated by the combined application of space manipulators to on-orbit servicing (OOS) and robotic spacecraft for debris removal (RSDR). Little is done for the latter and as much as the race of space exploration increases proportional to the trial of designs which compete for commercial deployment by the government system, litter and debris in orbit in near space exists through trial and error by manned spacecraft and miscalculations. The space environment represents one of the most challenging applications of robotics. Indeed, there is a widely-held but contentious viewpoint that space application represents a natural and inevitable arena for the advancement of robotics by imposing the requirement for high autonomy in space robotic systems (Ellery, A., 2004). Only one issue, orbital debris, rose in the rankings. This is explained by the construction of the International Space Station and Moon Base, as well as the proliferation of satellite networks. The space station and spacecraft are frequent targets of small orbital debris, which sometimes inflicted substantial damage due to the high speeds, about 35,000 kilometers per hour that objects travel in space. There are thousands of big objects, such as spent rocket stages and dead satellites, as well as screwdrivers and other objects in orbit, most about 300 to 400 miles above the Earth, along with trillions of tiny objects, such as paint flecks. When a tiny piece of an abandoned satellite crashed through a space station window during construction, extra shielding requirements became mandatory and the completion of the Earth-based Orbital Object Radar Tracking System (OORTS) was pushed forward to 1999. OORTS helped track the debris and avoided all but an occasional collision (Coates, J., 2003). The governmental space-based infrastructure budget should consider the insertion of research programs and the developments of spacecraft specifically designed with the capabilities to meet the requirements for the sustainable planet and the cleanup of waste produced by the multi-billion dollar space-driven programs on a number of orbits used by spacecraft today, from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) through Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbits (GEO) to Highly Elliptical Orbits (HEO) that are utilized for astronomy missions. Until this proposal in principle is taken into consideration, little is that will be understood about space sciences and how biomimetics or imitating natural materials can be utilized to bring the best out scientific-driven technologies.
