Yes, it's frustrating. We are working around this problem via having our Novamente AGI system control a simulated body in a 3D simulation world. However, we have been considering Sony and Honda and other humanoid robot makers as potential partners a little further down the road, when we want to make a port from simulated robot bodies to real ones. Now Sony gets crossed off the list!!
I note that Honda seemed to be further along technically anyway, even though Sony had put more work into making their robot do funky little dances at trade shows ;-) ben On 1/30/06, Sergio Navega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is the epitome of the chicken and egg problem. > Robotics researchers give up their projects because > they don't know how to do cognition.
