''This article deals with pedigree animal documentation. For human identification papers, see Identity document.
Papers is the everyday term for a document or set of documents from a recogized breed registry that attests to the purebred status of an animal.
The form of the document differs: it may be a simple certificate or a listing of ancestors in the animal's background, sometimes with a chart showing the lineage. Usually, there is space for the listing of successive owners, who must sign and date the document if the animal is gifted, leased or sold.
MIT's new underwater robot can hover in place Thu, 25 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0500 MIT researchers have designed the Odyssey IV, a new robotic underwater vehicle that can hover in place like a helicopter and serve as an invaluable tool for deepwater oil explorers, marine archaeologists, oceanographers and others. Robot wheelchair finds its own way Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0500 MIT researchers are developing a new kind of autonomous wheelchair that can learn all about the locations in a given building, and then take its occupant to a given place in response to a verbal command. Memory capacity bigger than previously thought Mon, 08 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0500 A new study from MIT cognitive neuroscientists may overturn the widespread belief that human memory does not store the details of our experiences. They have shown, given the right setting, the human brain can record an amazing amount of information. Model helps computers sort data more like humans Mon, 25 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0500 In an advance that may impact the field of artificial intelligence, a new model developed at MIT can help computers recognize patterns the same way that humans do. The model can analyze a set of data and figure out which type of organizational structure best fits it.
MIT class asks: Fly me to the moon? Wed, 21 May 2008 00:00:00 -0500 An MIT graduate class, aimed at figuring out whether MIT could, or should, mount an entry into the $20-million Google Lunar X-Prize competition announced last fall, has arrived at the bottom line: Yes, we can (technically)! Beaver-like robots face off in annual MIT contest Fri, 09 May 2008 00:00:00 -0500 Robots designed to toss pool-noodle trees into a river of ping-pong balls ruled over competitors focused on rescuing fuzzy toy beavers in this year's 2.007 contest, "Da (yes) MIT, or Save the Baby Beavers," held on Thursday, May 8, at MIT.
