Researchers from Switzerland and South Africa have designed a visual interface that would give autonomous machines the equivalent of body language. The interface uses a clustering algorithm and a fractal generator.
"Our idea of communication has a strong focus on learning and interpretation — trying to create relationships between the internal machine variables and the macroscopic behavior," said Jan-Jan van der Vyver, a researcher at the University of Zürich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
Snapshots of a machine’s sensory input, computational processing and output are clustered and the clusters are displayed as fractal images. The fractal generator produces a fractal pattern in the center of the display and patterns move outward in concentric rings, giving observers a sense of change over time.

Very good article. Technology really is going to unparallel bounds today.
