Definitely cool - but also borderline creepy - don't you think?

Imagine not being able to tell if someone is a droid or a human - because they are so close...

She looks amazingly realistic in that picture.  Bet she doesn't move very naturally, though.


Footballing robot dogs are always cool.  Not only are robot dogs cool, but footballing dogs are also cool.  So the whole robotic package is doubly cool.

Apparently they are working on all of those little things that make a droid "less than human" - the little ticks, breaths, movements that real people make - its really only a matter of time before they get it - and AI becomes a reality....

Cripes, more Segway crap...


Still waiting to see someone try one of those in Minnesota in the middle January.

Bizarre coincidence - one of the guys working on the androids just gave a talk in my department!


Very interesting stuff.
