PACIFIC REVIEW - the week that was in the Pacific with Bruce Hill.
2030 -
THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained. This week: "Robots
with the Right Stuff ". We might think of independent robots as
machines to compete with or fear, but how about the idea of 'cobots'?
Collaborative robotic servants that travel to Mars and make a home for
astronauts long before they arrive. "The Lab Rats of Mechatronics".
Autonomous systems fuse mechanical engineering, computing, sensing, and
software to create intelligent machines that interact with their
surrounding world. At the Australia Centre for Field Robotics, research
is underway to refine robotic technology for self-navigation, to be
used in unmanned airplaces, vehicles, and submersibles. [%]
2105 -
VERBATIM - oral histories with David Mark. This week: "Bill Skinner's
Bicycle". Bill Skinner has had an obsession with wheels all his long
life. The power of the engine doesn't matter; whether it's trucks,
bicycles or 2CV Citroens, he's travelled Australia from end to end on
all of them. Most of the travelling was done in pursuit of work (and
girlfriends). This is a story of the life of a labouring man with a
taste for adventure and no desire to settle down. There's always a
river to ford or a python to wrestle or a murderer to evade. [T;%]
2130 -
IN CONVERSATION - Robyn Williams talks to scientists and those
interested in the subject, about what science has meant to their lives.
This week: "Peter Currie". A couple of million years ago a mutation
occurred in our forebears that escaped apes and monkeys. Our jaw
muscles were reduced. As a result brain expansion and, eventually,
speech became possible. Peter Currie is at the Victor Chang Institute
which we normally associate with heart transplant research. But they
also study fossil fish and the evolution of muscles. This unlikely
path led to insights into how we evolved and became the brainy,
garrulous species we are today. [%]

of the limited time spent in this country. [%]
0045 LINGUA FRANCA - about language. This week: "A Women Only
Language".
'Nushu' is a script used exclusively by women in remote villages of
southern China. It's a rare example in world languages of a
gender-specific script, and it's thousands of years old. But why did
Chinese peasant women devise their own script? [%]

Roger Broadbent. This week: Why is it that newspaper and television
reports of high profile trials always feature sketches of those in the
dock and not photographs? A 'court illustrator' explains why this is
so. We're also introduced to the life of the truck driver as we spend a
day on the highways and byways of Australia. Plus, visit Black Opal

precious and beautiful stone. We travel there to visit the Black Hand
mine, one of about 80 opal mines in the area.
0532 ALL IN THE MIND - a weekly foray into the mental universe, the
mind, brain and behaviour with Natasha Mitchell. This week: "Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Debate Hots Up In WA". Western
Australia has been coined the ADHD capital of Australia, a trend that
has many worried and has prompted a major parliamentary
enquiry there. But will an enquiry compound the confusion? Are children
being over, under or misdiagnosed? [%]

1505 DISTANT MIRRORS DIMLY LIT - a six-part radio series developed
and presented by Australian born classicist Peter Toohey. It examines
how the lives of the ancients relate to ours, through the exploration
of six contemporary themes: Anger, Privacy, Leisure, Depression, Family
and Memory. This week: "Depression". The Western world is depressed.
Record numbers of people are diagnosed with the malady. Young people,
the aged, women, men, rural workers, immigrants, blue-collar, managers;
no one seems immune. Not even the multi-million dollar leisure industry
can keep it at bay. Is it unique to our modern world? Did the Greeks or
Romans get depressed as we understand it? Did they conceive of suicide
as a solution, as, unfortunately, many do in our world? [T;%

terrorism is on the increase, and the ruling royal family, the House of
Saud, is ageing and divided. Saad Al-Faqih, the head of the Movement
for Islamic Reform in Arabia, was a surgery professor until he was
exiled from Saudi Arabia ten years ago. He portrays himself as a
moderate activist leading a campaign to transform Saudi Arabia from a
virtual dictatorship to a democracy. The Saudi government calls him a
Muslim extremist and accuses him of having strong ties to terrorists.
