2008, according to an IT research company.
The unprecendented decline of the global economy is impacting the IT industry with worldwide IT spending forecast to total $ 3.4 trn in 2009, a 3.8 per cent decline from 2008 revenue of nearly $ 3.4 trn," IT research and advisory company Gartner said in a report.
Gartner said that all four of the key market sectors of the IT industry-- hardware, software, IT services and telecommunications have been revised downward, with only software spending growth remaining positive.
"Spending in computing hardware will see a decline of 14.9 per cent with total spending to be around USD 324.3 billion as against $ 3.4 trn in 2008," Gartner said.
The spending in IT services and telecommunications sectors will also fall by 1.7 per cent at USD 796.1 billion and 2.9 per cent at USD 1,891.2 billion, respectively, the report said.

The world's biggest IT company IBM will withdraw its patent application for offshore outsourcing, second time in past few years, after
Nine trends for IT in 2009
Cities that are IT hubs
Technology Watch
Bangalore: India's best IT spot
the US Patent & Trademark Office published the company’s latest filing seeking rights to a new ‘Method and system for strategic global resource sourcing’ last week.
The patent was aimed at helping companies make their offshore outsourcing decisions with the help of a new mathematical model developed by five IBM engineers including two Indians--Mayank Sharma and Karthik Sourirajan. Other inventors included Ching-Hua Chen-Ritzo, Daniel Patrick Connors and Markus Ettl.
Meanwhile, this is not the first time IBM had to withdraw a patent seeking rights to an offshoring mechanism. Around two years ago, the company filed a patent for 'a software-driven approach for identifying at least a portion of a human resource within an organization for outsourcing.'
IBM’s latest application for ‘Method and system for strategic global resource sourcing’, described a methodology for offshoring projects based on the quality and quantity of global talent available in cheaper offshore locations such as India and China.
Meanwhile, Top Indian tech firms TCS, Infosys and Wipro along with multinational rivals IBM, Accenture and HP-EDS, are currently chasing an outsourcing contract worth $100 million from Australia’s biggest retailer Woolworths, as the retailer plans to deploy a SAP-based solution for trasforming its merchandising and supply-chain platforms.
At a time when new business is increasingly becoming tough to come by, Australia has emerged as a great opportunity for the outsourcing vendors. Other recent outsourcing contracts awarded by Australian companies, include the $100-million deal from Telstra and the $50-million contract from mining firm Rio Tinto. Both were won by India’s second-biggest software company Infosys.
When contacted by ET on Tuesday, a Woolworths spokesperson confirmed that the retailer is, indeed, evaluating vendors for its SAP project. “Woolworths is currently working with SAP on a project where, over time, we will replace our core merchandising systems. These systems are a very important piece of IT for a retailer,” said Luke Schepen, a Woolworths spokesperson. “Woolworths will lead this project internally, but we are currently going through the process of determining other technology vendors who will assist (Woolworths) with this project,” he added.
With over $18-billion in revenues during the half-year ended December 2008, Woolworths runs several supermarket chains, apart from consumer electronics and hotel businesses, across Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
According to research firm Forrester, Australian companies will buy around $39 billion software products and services this year, accounting for almost 4.6% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP).
There is a new weapon in the arsenal of political parties for Election 2009. Even as the scramble for a wider vote-bank gains momentum, they
are embracing information technology (IT), not just to get their word across to the man on the street, but to also showcase their prowess in the field.
As part of its online campaign, the Congress party is setting up around 600 internet kiosks countrywide to showcase its achievements. A dedicated IT team set up by the Congress is putting up these kiosks, which will feature customised interactive software, sources told TOI.
The kiosks will be used to register youth members on the party's website and will also beam excerpts from the speeches of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Rahul Gandhi, among others.
Not to be outdone, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is also going the whole-hog and has formed an IT cell.
An official pointed out that not only is the party keen to automate its offices throughout the country, it has appointed over 15 state IT conveners to oversee regional operations.
The Congress manifesto specifically mentions that should it come to power, it would connect all villages to a broadband network in the next three years. As part of its pre-election plan, around 50 internet kiosks are to be set up in Gujarat alone, where the party is making concerted efforts to topple the BJP's Narendra Modi government.
According to the party's manifesto, "The Indian National Congress pledges to bring the fruits of the IT revolution to more cities and towns. It also pledges to connect every village to a broadband network within three years. This will help locate new, non-agricultural jobs in villages and open new opportunities for our rural youth. Already, IT is being used in areas like computerisation of land records but we now promise a bolder, time-bound initiative.''
On its part, the BJP is intent on connecting all state headquarters and districts through WAN (wide area networks) and has plans to opt for "cent per cent open source technologies''. While the party is keen to explore the benefits of IT-driven solutions in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, it is eager to dissimilate technology through a localised approach.
The BJP has spelt out its vision in its IT and telecom vision document, which pinpoints how the party plans to use IT as an important tool for change, if voted to power. This is a first of its kind sectoral poll manifesto.
IIM-L to hike fee by Rs 1.5 lakh/annum
New Delhi After IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore, the IIM Lucknow has decided to increase the fee of its Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM) by Rs 1.5 lakh per annum from the coming academic session.
"We will increase the fee from Rs 2.5 lakh per annum at present to Rs four lakh per year from 2009-10 academic session. The fee will be Rs four lakh each year during the two-year programme," IIM Lucknow Director Prof Devi Singh said.
Singh said that the hike is need-based and would help the institute strengthen its financial health to meet the expenditure which has gone up significantly in the recent years.
"The hike is cost-based. But while increasing the fee, we will also take care of the poor and meritorious students by giving them financial support," he said.
The institute has been giving financial aid to about 100 students every year, he said.
"The facility will continue this year also. We will ensure that no poor and meritorious student fails to get education at IIM Lucknow just because he or she is poor," Singh said.
The number of seats at IIM Lucknow in the PGPM programme will be increased to about 350 this year from around 300 as it is implementing the OBC reservation in a phased manner.
The IIM Lucknow decision to hike its fee comes just after IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore made similar decisions to increase their fees.
The IIM-Bangalore yesterday increased fees of its two-year post-graduate programmes. For 2009-10, the fee has been hiked from Rs five lakh to Rs 5.25 lakh, and for 2010-11, to Rs 5.75 lakh. The Board of Governors of IIM-B took the decision on Thursday.
The IIM-A has increased fees for its Post Graduate Programme in Management by Rs 50,000. The batch of 2009-11 of the PGPM at IIM-A will pay about Rs 12.5 lakh for the course.
We need H1B professionals: US Govt
Washington In the first-ever indication of its stand on H-1B visas popular among Indian professionals, the Obama Administration has informed a court that the US needs this scheme to avoid "competitive disadvantage" the American companies could face otherwise.
A submission in this regard was recently filed by Michael F Hertz, Acting Assistant Attorney General, in response to a lawsuit filed by a group of three US bodies, nine individuals and two students challenging government's decision to extend from one year to 29 months the duration of foreign nationals with engineering, science and other technical degrees who can work in the US on student visas.
This was a policy decision by previous Bush government, which was challenged in a lower court in New Jersey last year and was summarily dismissed. The same petitioners approached the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia last month.
The Obama Administration's view point was expressed in its submission before the Philadelphia court on March 23, according to a copy of petition and response obtained by PTI.
"The inability of US employers, particularly in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, to obtain H-1B status for highly skilled foreign students and foreign non-immigrant workers has adversely affected the ability of US employers to recruit and retain skilled workers and creates a competitive disadvantage for US companies," the US government argued.
Defending the policy of the Bush Administration on extension of work permit to foreign students with degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by 17 months, the new government argued that this is necessary to retain these foreign students in America.
Otherwise, it said, they would have no other option but to return or go to other countries for employment. With there being great rush for H-1B visas, extension of work permit to those holding F-1 (student visa) is a justifiable way to retain this talent, it argued.
The extension of time simply allows these students to avoid the hardship of leaving the country to change their status and gives the employers ample time to file H-1B petitions on their behalf in due course.
The Acting Assistant Attorney General noted that had the government not extended the work permit of foreign students in STEM category, some 10,000 students holding H-1B visas for the fiscal 2009 would have had to leave the country within 60 days as required by law or extend their F-1 status by enrolling in another course of study.
"As indicated in the IFR (Interim Final Rule) there is an important economic interest for the United States in keeping STEM graduates from going to other countries that are providing increased opportunities to these students," the US government said in its petition.
"The IFR would help attract STEM students to the United States. Otherwise, United States will lose skilled technical workers in great need by high-tech industries."
Computerisation will help easy access to info: CIC
Express News ServiceFirst Published : 25 Mar 2009 03:55:00 AM ISTLast Updated : 25 Mar 2009 02:57:57 PM ISTBHUBANESWAR: Chief Information Commissioner, India, Wazahat Habibullah has underscored the need to accelerate computerisation of departments and digitisation of records so that access to information can be universalised in the country.
While it is the right of every citizen to be able to access information, it is the duty of the Government to pro-actively make available key information to all barring those exempted.
The e-Governance initiatives should include RTI as a key component. Computerisation of departments and making available of all records and documents through a network of universal connectivity can make access to information easy and instant. But India’s core competence (expertise in IT) is surprisingly not capitalised upon.
Let not the citizen make rounds of offices seeking information. Let him just walk into a cyber cafe to access all information that he wants.
In the US, one has to just pick up a phone to get information. Why cannot accessing information be made easier here? the CIC asked.
Delivering the Foundation Day lecture of Centre for Youth and Social Development (CYSD), Habibullah said the dawn of a new Swaraj has come only now with the Right To Information (RTI).
It materialises the dreams of Mahatma Gandhi of enabling an informed citizenry, which in turn would counter corruption, enhance transparency and ensure accountability in the government.
The freedom to access any information would enable monitoring of governance, to know about what is being done to address issues concerning them.
The CIC took note of the developments in Orissa, particularly a recent instruction by Chief Secretary AK Tripathy to all departments to list out all categories of documents held by them in 21 days.
The list once uploaded on the Internet would make access easy for all and others should follow, he stated.
Elaborating on the RTI, he said the Act includes right to inspect works and even take samples of materials to determine the quality of work.
Citing cases in Delhi, samples of material has been widely used by slum-dwellers of the National capital, with illiterate women taking the lead, to bring about positive change in developmental works.
The NGOs and rights organisations can play a vital role in generating awareness on the RTI programmes.
Chief Secretary AK Tripathy, State Information Commissioner Jagadananda, CYSD chairman PK Sahoo and Prof AK Dash of Utkal University spoke.

India’s First Humanoid Robot - ACYUT 3

This is a guest post from one of our regular readers Rishabh Kaul who also blogs at “Whatever Things“.
Samay Kohli and Arpit Mohan were probably 2 of the busiest people on BITS Pilani campus during March 2008. Apart from organizing one of India’s biggest B-plan competitions, Conquest, they were also toiling it away in the workshop, working on ‘something’.
‘Something’ turned out to be India’s first indigenous humanoid robot, named ACYUT. Along with Harsh, Prayag, Stueti and Prateik, ACYUT is all ready to take over Robogames in California, this week. ACYUT also happens to be India’s only entry. Robogames is the largest open robot challenge in the world.
All though they received immense support from the BITS Pilani Alumni Association (BITSAA), making ACYUT had been one pain in the tush. But the end result made it all worth it. See it for yourself.
Going through their blog, one can check their journey of tackling various problems, be it regarding the center of gravity of the robot or some software related error. It managed through three transformations and the big boy making its way to USA is actually ACYUT 3. The humanoid was first unveiled at BITS Pilani tech fest APOGEE 2008, with K K Birla admiring the gutsy humanoid.
Any sour memories? Not particularly, though I’d say, the comment below, from Samay should act as a reminder for those to whom it is addressed.
“We are yet to receive any kind of help from the government unlike in the US where the government pushes research for technology. We did approach the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) but they are interested more in technology that will help defense.”
But this hasn’t let their spirits down. With sponsors ready to fund their travel and the parts of the robots, the team, along with ACYUT is probably flying right now as I write this article.

India 54th in networked readiness index
T. Ramachandran
The country has come up with a “very mixed performance,” says report
KOCHI: India has been ranked 54th among 134 countries in the latest edition of a global report that evaluated the capability of nations to leverage Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for their overall benefit and economic progress.
The country has slipped down four positions compared to last year in the Networked Readiness Index (NRI) 2008-09, which primarily evaluates the ICT environment, readiness and usage in different nations, taking different variables into consideration.
The eighth edition of The Global Information Technology Report (GITR), released a few days ago, was prepared by the World Economic Forum in partnership with INSEAD, a leading business school.
Denmark occupies the first position in the index and Chad comes last. As for India’s neighbours, Pakistan occupies the 98th position and Nepal the 127th.
The report finds out the extent to which nations have an ICT-conducive environment, by looking at the broad business environment, regulatory aspects, the soft and hard infrastructure in place, the degree of preparation needed for its use by various stakeholders (individuals, business and government segments) and the actual degree of ICT use by them.
While China has fared better than India over the past year in terms of improving its position in the rankings, both nations have registered “impressive upward movements across decile ranks.” In the decile rankings, in which nations are positioned based on divisions of tenths, China and India have gained five and three places respectively since 2001, the report said.
However, compared to the previous year’s ranking, China has gained 11 positions to occupy the 46th spot, overtaking India in the process. India has been ranked 60th in the environment component sub-index, 40th in the readiness component sub-index, and 59th in the usage component sub-index. The report described India as having come up with a “very mixed performance,” citing the ranking of the country in terms of key indicators.
“On the one hand, India’s business readiness [27th] remains impressive, thanks to high-quality management schools [12th], significant corporate spending on R&D [29th], and a broad base of suppliers. This results in high ICT usage by businesses [30th], with a fairly strong capacity not only to adopt new technologies [26th] but also to innovate [35th]. On the other hand, like China, India ranks a low 114th in the individual usage category because of a very spotty ICT penetration. Notably, and despite a two-fold increase, there are fewer than three PCs and only seven Internet users for every 100 inhabitants, corresponding to 94th and 99th place, respectively. The quality of the infrastructure environment is poorly rated (76th), despite India’s ranking 3rd worldwide for the availability of scientists and engineers and 27th for the quality of its research institutions.”
While mobile telephony had emerged as “one of the most important and widespread forms of ICT in recent decades,” the study found that high mobile telephony penetration was not inevitably synonymous with high networked readiness.
Regulatory policies
“To unlock all of the benefits the mobile industry can generate in emerging markets, governments and regulators need to establish a coherent set of regulatory policies that actively increase coverage levels while reducing the minimum cost of ownership.” These policies should ensure sufficient but not excessive competition, help avoid direct price controls, attach strict rollout and coverage requirements to mobile licences, effectively manage spectrum allocation and pricing and help avoid high levels of taxation.
India vs. Philippines
The report referred to the contrasting experiences of India and the Philippines in this context. “Both India and the Philippines are geographically diverse and have largely the same income levels. However, the Philippines, with three operators having an average EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) margin of about 66 percent, enjoys universal network coverage (roughly 99 percent) and mobile penetration of 60 per cent. India, on the other hand, with 37 per cent network coverage and 28 per cent mobile penetration, is a market where even the best operators rarely exceed EBITDA margins of 40 per cent,” it noted.

New telcos may ring in $2 bn IT deals
3 Apr 2009, 0140 hrs IST, Durba Ghosh, ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: IT firms could bag outsourcing contracts worth up to $2 billion from new telecom players like Swan Telecom, Unitech Wireless, Loop
Telecom, ByCell Communications and Datacom, readying to launch their services. The telcos have initiated talks with several IT vendors such as Tech Mahindra, IBM, Wipro and Infosys to sign multi-million dollar contracts.
“We will outsource all our IT operations, including setting up of IT networks and managing services. We have shortlisted four IT players and are in advanced talks to finalise one of them. The size of deal will be around $600 million for about 10 years,” Unitech Wireless executive director Rajeev Bawa said. The firm is expected to close the deal next month.
Swan Telecom is learnt to be in talks with IT firms, including Tech Mahindra, Wipro and IBM, for a possible outsourcing deal. As per industry sources, the telecom firm is negotiating an outsourcing contract worth over $500 million. The company spokeswoman refused to comment on the matter.
Tech Mahindra marketing vice-president Rajesh Chandiramani confirmed that the company has made presentations to ByCell and Swan Telecom. “Deals with the new telecom players can vary from $200 million to $1 billion in terms of size. We expect telcos to decide on their IT vendors soon,” Mr Chandiramani added.
ByCell’s plans to outsource its IT network have been put on hold, with the company still stuck in administrative delays regarding grant of licence and spectrum. The company dragged the foreign investment promotion board (FIPB) and the Department of Telecom (DoT) to court a week ago for their failure to grant it licence and spectrum even after acquiring requisite approvals.
Sistema Shyam, which has started operations in a few circles in the country, is also exploring the option of outsourcing management of its IT network. At present, the company is operating through its in-house IT team. “Our in-house IT team is currently managing the network and enterprise operations. We are exploring and evaluating options between in-house, managed services and outsourcing of IT services, and a partner will be chosen at an appropriate time,” Sistema Shyam CEO & president Vsevelod Rozanov said.
Bharti Airtel, the country’s largest cellular services provider, was the first leading operator to outsource its IT operations in 2004 in what was then a $750-million deal spread over five years. The deal later crossed $1 billion in value. Following suit, Idea Cellular and Vodafone signed IT outsourcing deals with the American technology major.
Indian IT firm Wipro had also won a nine-year outsourcing deal from Aircel, which was estimated to be worth about $600 million.

IT firms hiring pharma guys for life sciences biz
30 Mar 2009, 0232 hrs IST, Jessica Mehroin Irani & Nina Mehta, ET Bureau
MUMBAI: Gone are the days when doctors, nurses, pharmacologists and other professionals in the medical field were found just in hospitals or labs.
IT companies are hiring them for their life sciences businesses, which involves research and development in the discovery/pre-clinical and clinical phase of drugs, manufacturing, analytics for sales and marketing and regulatory compliance.
According to IMS Health, a consultancy firm, the global life sciences market will be as large as $830 billion in 2009. These companies typically spend 3-5% of their total revenue on IT which includes both hardware and software. Among the challenges for pharmaceutical companies includes speeding up their drug development cycle on account of existing generic competition and the impending loss of major patents.
As a result, the demand among the pharma companies for a more cost-efficient pipeline has intensified in recent years and outsourcing is helping in battling this. A few large IT firms like Cognizant, Accenture, TCS and Patni provide services in the clinical trial data management as well as analytics space.
The global clinical trials business was estimated to be worth $50 billion in 2008 with an annual growth rate of 10 per cent. This is according to “Global Clinical Trial Business Report & Analysis 2008-2018.” For a drug to be accepted in the market, data management of these trials is a complex process. It involves data collection for evaluation from a large global patient population, validating the accuracy of the data, analysing large amounts of data and eventually making some clinical interpretations that relate to the safety and effectiveness of the drug under trial. The data collection, validation, analysis and reporting is generally done with the help of IT systems due to the large amounts of data involved.

To date, many players have made a foray into this area. “There have been contract research organisations (CROs) that have started separate offshore data management units. Some of them are IT/ITES companies that leverage software processes and technology expertise while others like pharmaceutical companies are setting up captive biometrics and data management operations,” said Cognizant AVP life sciences practice J Sairamkumar.
It is one of the few IT firms which has 24.4% of its total revenues coming from the healthcare and life sciences segment. The company has doctors, pharmacologists, physicians, biomedical engineers, pharmacists, bio-statisticians and medical writers on its payroll.
Analytics and profiling trends in the drug development, clinical trial and also in the post-marketing stage are a few other areas that IT companies specialise in. This analysis of data helps the pharma companies maximise their profits and chart their marketing course. “A large part of the work done with pharma companies is in the areas of innovation and development of new drugs. Clinical study reports are written for the USFDA for commercial and regulatory purposes. All this is done out of our BPO in India,” said Patni BPO head Sanjiv Kapur.

Sam Dinkin writes quite interestingly in his article`Colonize the Moon before Mars’ published in `SPACE REVIEW’:
There are a number of reasons that the Moon is the best place to start space colonization, but the basis of most of them are its proximity to the Earth. Most of these stem from the lower cost of access to the Moon. There are also important engineering, economic and political advantages to starting colonization with the Moon. Before discussing the advantages of the Moon, let’s analyze what a full-court press for Mars colonization looks like.
Mars
Robert Zubrin constantly beats the drum for exploring Mars first. It is disingenuous to say that the goal of space exploration is the colonization of Mars. Even colonization advocates would be happy with colonization of the Moon, the asteroids, and many other destinations. The discovery of life on Mars would not matter much one way or the other. Suppose there is Earth-like life on Mars. That might point to a common origin or a similar bootstrap method. What is that worth commercially? If you knew the answer, how much could you sell it for? Ten billion? What follow on activities would that news generate? None. Life may be an exciting discovery perhaps the most exciting in all history, but it does not amount to a large inducement to go to Mars.
Mars would be an excellent idea to get started if this were the only space colonization option. There is a much better option, however, teasing us as it hangs in the sky.
Mars is an excellent colonization spot and should be colonized because it is a great place to live. If we are going places as a species, we have to start somewhere. Right now, the level of space commitment by all actors on Earth is about $50 billion a year. This level of commitment would pay for about twenty Mars Direct-style missions every two years. This is a feasible budget for the colonization of Mars. Many technologies can be optimized if the focus of Earth space efforts was colonization. Cyclers could be placed in permanent Earth-Mars transfer orbit. In situ resource utilization could eliminate the need for hydrogen shipment from Earth. Better crew selection could eliminate the need for humans to take a return trip. If the goal of human presence on Mars is to colonize it, $50 billion a year can do it well.
It will probably take decades of subsidy before a Mars colony could sustain itself. A twenty-year program of $50-billion-a-year subsidies would hit a trillion dollars. This is an affordable sum for a rich planet. It would be an excellent idea to get started if this were the only space colonization option. There is a much better option, however, teasing us as it hangs in the sky.
The Moon
The Moon has many relative advantages. The first is capital utilization. A Lunar cycler can make hundreds of round trips in the time that a Mars cycler can make. Second, there is much less fuel required to get from the Earth to the Moon than to Mars. Existing technology can be used to get to the Moon (see “Soyuz to the Moon?”, The Space Review, August 2, 2004). A lunar landing mission might cost $120 million for an Ariane 5 booster. If each mission cost another $120 million for the Soyuz, service module and everything else, then that would be $240 million per flight instead of $5 billion per flight. That means that a $50-billion level of commitment from Earth can afford over 400 flights every two years. Of course, that level of commitment could be optimally spent in much better ways. By creating a lunar cycler, a station at L-1, an orbital fuel depot, in situ utilization of lunar oxygen and possibly lunar water, there could be a vibrant community on the Moon.
While a single Ariane 5 could not heft as much as a Mars Direct flight, it may still transfer a comparable amount of resources and people as a Mars Direct flight would to Mars. Since life support and consumables are much less onerous for a short trip than a long trip, there is a lower mass requirement for crew transfer flights to the Moon and much less depreciation of capital in transit. Having new heavy lift that would enable Mars Direct would also enable more sensible lunar colonization missions.
There are many supporting reasons to go to the Moon. Consider three categories of justification: engineering, economics, and politics.
Engineering
First, on a mission to the Moon, Earth rescue is a decent possibility for certain kinds of failures. On a trip to Mars, this would be out of the question. As NASA is finding out with its shuttle return to flight efforts, having a standby rescue ship and a space station to go to makes failure recovery for many failures feasible without too much increased capability from our existing hardware.
Second, the proximity to Earth allows for just-in-time planning. With Earth only a few days away, a regular resupply mission can have last minute changes to its manifest. That means that fewer spares need to be kept on hand to assure the same level of safety as in a Mars mission.
Third, the short distance between the Earth and the Moon allow Earth based teleoperation to be a viable alternative to robotics and local human operation. This vastly leverages the capability of capital equipment on the Moon.
If we are colonizing both Mars and the Moon, colonizing the Moon first would help inform the colonization plan of Mars. The reverse would not be as true because Mars colonization would take longer.
Fourth, there is valuable information that can be learned in setting up a space colony that will raise the likelihood of success of all future colonization efforts. So if we are colonizing both Mars and the Moon, colonizing the Moon first would help inform the colonization plan of Mars. The reverse would not be as true because Mars colonization would take longer.
Finally, resource and energy options are opened up to guard against our energy appetite increasing (as our nuclear appetite isn’t) or carbon appetite decreasing. In addition to lunar resource utilization, creating an option to colonize near Earth asteroids is very interesting and makes many resource extraction strategies feasible even if it would take technology breakthroughs or huge changes in the economy to make them financially viable.
Economics
The Moon offers a near-term self-sufficiency without any technological breakthroughs. The tourism industry can potentially provide a high-end alternative to orbital tourism (see “Space elevator dry run: next stop, the Moon”, The Space Review, this issue). Patrick Collins makes a good case that cheap orbital access can enable a vibrant lunar tourism industry. With a heavy subsidy, the Moon may become a cheaper destination for a long stay than even an orbital hotel. That is, lunar in situ resource utilization can potentially make oxygen, water, and structural materials less expensive on the Moon than in orbit.
Since the Moon is a more exotic and varied destination than orbit, it will likely rate a higher level of demand than orbit. Thus a vibrant tourism industry could result in a strong lunar economy that does not need to be subsidized as early as 2030. There could be a faster development to Antarctic level of commerce (13,000 tourists a year) or Alaska level of commerce (population 600,000). There would still need to be imports from Earth, but every nation on Earth has imports, so becoming self-sufficient in all commodities is not a necessary condition for the success of a colony.
In addition to tourism, the Moon could export video entertainment to the Earth. Lunar sports might make great television. Lunar trampoline, diving, and gymnastics should be very interesting to watch and would likely bring in ratings higher than similar events on Earth. Lunar dance rates to be extraordinary. A lunar movie studio may also make some great exports to the Earth.
The Moon also offers a great spot for astronomical observation. This allows the reclaiming of terrestrial radio frequencies currently used for that purpose. There are also new Earth observation possibilities.
Space skills will be valuable and firms and people with experience on the Moon will be well able to help develop cislunar and martian systems. Radiation management experience, artificial gravity creation technology, operation and maintenance, flywheel, maglev, and mass driver technologies are all likely to be developed on the Moon and useful in future efforts.
There could be a huge wave of private investment that is coincident with government colonization efforts.
Labor-saving technologies are likely to give a boost to the terrestrial economy. The fine details of how this will affect us is hard to predict, but if the cost of labor on the Moon is high because of the high cost of transportation, new and varied uses of teleoperation and robotics will become cost effective. Some of those technologies will have immediate application on Earth. The less scripted and higher intensity nature of lunar development will allow these to emerge more quickly from lunar than martian colonization.
To sum up, the lunar economy can pay for all its imports through the tourism industry, intellectual property exports, science, entertainment, space skills, low-g skills and labor saving technology.
There could be a huge wave of private investment that is coincident with government colonization efforts. That could result in a co-development of many industries such as terrestrial point-to-point rocket service, orbital tourism, teleoperation, and robotics.
Economic opportunities of a more long shot nature are also worth adding to the calculus. Turning the Moon into a TV (see “Buy the light of the Moon”, The Space Review, August 30, 2004) is exciting. A testbed for space elevator deployment would be nice, too.
Politics
The Moon may become a very exciting destination with a substantial GDP. Being there first means that the high ground is already occupied for any future militarization of the Moon.
It’s possible that colonizing the Moon will help muster the political will to colonize Mars. Earthers will be able to see the colony directly with their own eyes. A convincing existence proof will be there for everyone to see that colonization is feasible and profitable.
A lunar colony is a politically feasible off-Earth gene bank increasing the chances that the species will be immortal. The act of leaving the cradle may be the other addition to our chances for immortality.
It will be harder to monopolize communication between the Earth and Moon than Earth and Mars. This will create a free flow of ideas that will benefit both societies. There will be a greater spirit of freedom sooner with lunar colonization due to speedier development, and the faster mixing of ideas.
Colonizing the Moon will also be a faster spur to legal development. The development of space law, especially property rights, mineral rights, and to a lesser extent labor law and human rights will create additional liquidity for other space colonization activities.
The Moon may make a Mars colony feasible or desirable, thus enabling three branches of humanity.
Having independent space nations will enrich the solar system polity and make the solar system and the species more secure from natural disaster. We can speed interstellar exploration and colonization. Ultimately we may create two new worlds that are every bit as rich, varied and interesting as our own.
Conclusion
The Moon is a very interesting destination in its own right. Being closer to the Earth creates engineering, economic, and political opportunities. The Moon may make a Mars colony feasible or desirable, thus enabling three branches of humanity. A lunar colony can use much more mass imported from Earth and more flexible and capable engineering. Tourism may independently justify lunar colonization, but science, technology, skills and entertainment make the case stronger. Having a new place to live with new laws, customs, and ideas may ultimately be the most valuable contribution of all.

Humanoid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A humanoid is a hybrid term formed from Latin humanus "human" and the Greek -oeides expressing likeness. The term was coined in 1918 to refer to fossils considered close to human but not strictly human, including species now classified as Homo such as the Neanderthals.
The term more generally refers to any being whose body structure resembles that of a human, including upright stance and bipedalism. This includes anthropomorphic creatures in mythology as well as humanoid robots, especially in the context of science fiction and fantasy fiction. An android or gynoid is a humanoid robot designed to look like a male or female human, respectively, although the words are frequently perceived to be synonymous.
Most of the aliens in television and movies are presented as humanoid. Occasionally a rationale for the similarity of disparate alien races all sharing humanoid body structure is presented. For example, the episode "The Chase" of Star Trek: The Next Generation explained the humanoid denizens of the Star Trek universe by advancing the story of a primordial humanoid civilization, the Ancient humanoids, that seeded the galaxy with genetically-engineered cells that guide evolution toward humanoid life (see panspermia). In Stargate SG-1, many if not all of the aliens encountered are human, and this is explained by them having traveled from Earth in the distant past (See Children of the Gods). In most cases, like the classic Doctor Who serials, the reason for the similarity is not explained (although The Big Finish Productions audio play Zagreus offers a more sinister explanation: that the time lords may have seeded the universe with biogenic molecules so that only intelligent species that approximated the Gallifreyan humanoid norm would develop), and it is regarded simply as a dramatic convention or artistic license, requiring suspension of disbelief.

Robots may be able to walk - but Japan wants them to do it on the Moon
Leo Lewis in Tokyo
The cutting-edge models can lumber around a room without falling over. A few can play the trumpet or serve tea. The truly sophisticated ones can just about manage the washing-up.
But by 2020, Japan predicts, humanoid robots will be ready to colonise the Moon. Other metallic brethren of these mechanical pioneers, said scientists in Tokyo, will be engaged in the bigger, more prosaic mission of cleaning Earth’s orbit of junk.
The first draft of the ambitious plan emerged yesterday from a Japanese task force on space and lunar exploration – a team of experts from various fields answering directly to Taro Aso, the country’s cartoon-loving Prime Minister, and charged with beefing up Japan’s space programme.
The group’s remit was to draft a five-year plan on the development and exploitation of space – a programme for action that was initially to have included the goal of putting a human Japanese astronaut on the Moon within the next 20 years. In the latest plans, though, robots have inherited the prime position in Japan’s first – and still unconstructed – lunar lander.Experts have been arguing for years that the country’s aim should be to develop humanoid robots to the point where they are capable of everything people can do, and more.

For fans of Japanese manga comics it also makes perfect sense: space colonisation by robots is depicted in dozens of titles every week. And yet Japan’s leading robotics experts are painfully aware of how immature the science really is. The Honda engineer Masato Hirose endured 20 years of frustration before making the Asimo robot walk upright on two legs.
Tomomasa Sato, the head of Tokyo University’s faculty of mechano-informatics and the current chairman of the Japan Robotics Association, was equally realistic about how far robots can go with current technology.
“The next stage is to be able to tell a robot to go and fetch something from somewhere in the house and bring it back without breaking it,” he said. “It is at the limit of our science.”
The panel will continue to work on the proposals until later this month, with the final recommendations likely to be formalised next month. The eye-catching plans to land robots on the Moon, though, are likely to be joined by a series of more pragmatic proposals relating to the use of space for defence. The panel has already mooted building a space-based sensor system to detect the launch of a ballistic missile, and has suggested that satellites be used to help to track natural disasters in Asia.
Japan’s renewed fascination with space has generated a rich flow of ideas. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency said recently that it was working on a satellite-based robot that could start work on cleaning up some of the 10,000 pieces of man-made space debris circling in orbit and threatening the wellbeing of passing satellites. The proposed robot janitor would extend conductive cable several kilometres in length into the void and fish it back for burning.

By JAY ALABASTER – 1 day ago
TOKYO (AP) — Japan hopes to have a two-legged robot walk on the moon by around 2020, with a joint mission involving astronauts and robots to follow, according to a plan laid out Friday by a government group.
Specifics of the plan, including what new technologies will be required and the size of the project's budget, are to be decided within the next two years, according to Japan's Strategic Headquarters for Space Development, a Cabinet-level working group.

Japan Pledges To Land Humanoid Robot On Moon By 2020
By Wilson Rothman, 7:00 PM on Fri Apr 3 2009, 8,440 views
In an otherwise vague announcement, Japan's Strategic Headquarters for Space Development said that it would put a two-legged humanoid robot on the moon by 2020.
This is to be part of a bigger space plan, whose details will be decided in the next couple of years. It's no surprise that Japan is eager to put robots on the moon (they're eager to put robots anywhere), and it's also no surprise that they wish to follow up the robots-only mission with a manned mission, using robot helpers.

One step for a robot, a giant leap for tin-mankind
Leo Lewis in Tokyo
The cutting-edge models can lumber around a room without falling over. A few can play the trumpet or serve tea. The truly sophisticated ones can just about manage the washing-up.
But by 2020, Japan predicts, humanoid robots will be ready to colonise the Moon. Other metallic brethren of these mechanical pioneers, said scientists in Tokyo, will be engaged in the bigger, more prosaic mission of cleaning Earth’s orbit of junk.

As North Korea preps a ballistic missile launch over Japan, the Japanese are grandstanding back with promises of robots walking on the moon by 2020.
___________________________________________
We have mentioned that it would be nice to have some robots to help set up a lunar base camp.
We have also mentioned that the lunar regolith is not going to be kind to mechanical devices.
It will be interesting to see how well a robot will handle all of the grit.

I have been reading the writings of James S. Albus and I know we have a number of robotic machines being used in industry.

Will someone make an automatic railroad track installer for the Moon?
http://www.distant-galaxy.com/maelstrom2/DigiMatte/ACC_M2LunarRailMountains.html
I wonder what the response from the USA will be?
Are we really going to do more than just spend a couple of days on a mountain?
Who or what is going to install power lines?
What will be the next robot toy or transformer you buy at the store?
One of an astronaut robot and its adventures on the Moon?
Will you be able to buy a lunar base camp kit?
Hope we see more books about living on the Moon.
Enjoyed watching the TV series Space: 1999.

Any movies being developed showing how we will live on the Moon?

> Introduction
> A previously published outline for a theory of intelligence defines
> intelligence as “the ability to act appropriately in an uncertain environment, where appropriate
> action is that which increases the probability of success, and success is the achievement of
> behavioral goals[1].” The intelligent system acts so as to maximize probability of success and minimize
> probability of failure. Both goals and success criteria are generated in the environment external
> to the intelligent system. At a minimum, intelligence requires the abilities to sense the environment,
> make decisions, and control action. Higher levels of intelligence require the abilities to
> recognize objects and events, store and use knowledge about the world, and to reason about and plan for the
> future. Advanced forms of intelligence have the abilities to perceive and analyze, to plot and
> scheme, to choose wisely and plan successfully in a complex, competitive, hostile world. The amount
> of intelligence is determined by the computational power of the computing engine, the
> sophistication and elegance of algorithms, the amount and quality of information and values, and
> the efficiency and reliability of the system architecture. The amount of intelligence can grow
> through programming, learning, and evolution. Intelligence is the product of natural selection,
> wherein more successful behavior is passed on to succeeding generations of intelligent systems, and less
> successful behavior dies out. Natural selection is driven by competition between individuals within
> a group, and groups within the world.

> wings. It stores and retrieves information required to control thousands of muscles in
> producing coordinated behavior as a function of time. CMAC was
> designed to provide this kind of motor control for robotic manipulators.
