 [Petze's PENIS ^_~ .... & Australia is like WTF Mate?] Timeline of Future: Oh man..I always liked looking at these sorts of timelines. People predicting what the future holds.

[Bowietreks] Robotic Philip K. Dick: Hanson Robotics Inc (HRI), the FedEx Institute of Technology's Institute for Intelligent Systems (IIS) and the Automation and Robotics Research Institute (ARRI) at UTA are working with Paul Williams, a close friend and former literary executor of Dick, to create a robotic portrait that will be a powerful memorial to the author.

 [Slice of Scifi Podcast] SCI-FI to SCI-FACT -- A Robotic Philip K. Dick: Source: Hanson Robotics Edited and Submitted by: S.K. Sloan In an unparalleled technical collaboration, a team of artists, writers, engineers, literary scholars, and freethinkers are creating a lifelike, android portrait of one of America's well-known science-fiction writers Philip K Dick.

  /tonym - Tony Mulqueen's blog: I think that after over 3 years of blogging from tonym, it's time to say goodbye to this one. I will be blogging elsewhere at a future date, and the friends who link to me and have formed a warm and supportive little community in hyperspace, will be told of the new address.

[Robots.engadget.com] Engadget: into polar orbit in conjunction with a larger payload-- all for the purpose of robot grudge matches in zero gravity. Although the 10/10/10 date of the premier competition is purely tentative (pending certain non-trivial steps as international approval for the launch and use of certain radio frequencies), the rules already seem to be set in stone: to simulate the sumo-style ring (or sphere, as it were) of play, the four bots sent up as cargo will each be attached to 5-meter long tethers, which will signal that the competitor has been tossed when they become fully taut .

 [Mindpixel.blogspot.com] Mindpixel Blog: Repliee Q1 - The Most Human Looking Android: But if you're a bigger animal with more sophisticated recognition requirements this kind of hard coded approach becomes very unwieldy. You need a set of rules or a template for each and every salient situation, and the heap becomes increasingly impractical especially if you need to produce imaginary scenarios possibly viewed from the perspective of another creature in your social group.

 [Sourceforge.net] SourceForge.net: Project of the Month: Many of these robot engineers are SourceForge participants, and many more will join. The most exciting synergy I can think of is the coming together of different AI talents and technologies from the many branches of robot engineering, all interacting under the umbrella of a design environment that a typical consumer can run, and expressed in the endearing package of a playful digital companion.
