What defines technology when artificial intelligence and robots become its architects, carriers, and catalysts? What happens when tools evolve into systems, and systems into synthetic collaborators?
URCA traces technologies as expressions of intent—mechanisms, platforms, and infrastructures shaped by artificial intelligence, robotic design, and human imagination. These entries span hardware and software, protocols and platforms, from ancient tools to quantum systems.
Whether embedded in autonomous machines, powering AI models, or enabling ambient intelligence, each technology reflects a choreography of function, ethics, and symbolic presence.
Technology is not just invention—it’s a ritual of transformation, a scaffold for agency, and a mirror of what we dare to build.

Neuralink: Merging Minds with Machines in the AI and Robotics Era
Neuralink Background Neuralink is a neurotechnology company founded by Elon Musk in 2016 with the ambitious goal of enabling direct communication between the human brain and computers. At its core is a tiny brain-computer interface (BCI) chip (currently called the N1 or “Telepathy” device) that is surgically implanted into the skull and connects to the…

Audrey Crews: Pioneering Mind-Controlled Technology in AI and Robotics
Audrey Crews has captured global attention as a trailblazer at the intersection of neuroscience, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics. Paralyzed for two decades after a devastating spinal injury, she recently became the first woman in the world to control a computer directly with her mind using Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain-computer interface. Her journey from paralysis…

Personal Superintelligence
Personal Superintelligence refers to an envisioned form of artificial intelligence that operates as an extremely advanced, superintelligent personal assistant or companion tailored to an individual user. In essence, it is an AI agent with cognitive capabilities far exceeding normal human intelligence (a “superintelligence”), but designed to serve and empower a single person in their daily…

Non-Invasive Brain-Computer Interfaces: EEG, MEG, and fNIRS for Real-Time Thought Decoding in AI and Robotics
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) create a direct communication pathway between the human brain and external devices. By decoding neural activity into signals that can control computers, robots, or other systems, BCIs allow “thoughts” to be translated into actions or communication in real time. BCIs have enormous potential for assisting people with paralysis or neurodegenerative diseases in…
