It sounds like a promising start, but it should also be noted that there have been many false dawns in this area. Even the most sophisticated Japanese dancing robots are really not much more than puppets - they're cognitive flyweights. The really important problems in robotics are mainly ones involving perception in my opinion, and you can experiment with this using far less elaborate robots. > Perhaps OpenCog should seek some sort of cross fertilization with the > RobotClub people. Yes this might be a good idea, but probably at a later stage when OpenCog is more developed. Particularly I'd be interested in having the robot learn a model of its own body kinematics - the beginnings of a sense of self - based on data mining its sensory data and also using experimental movements to confirm or refute hypotheses, which mught to a naive observer look like "play". ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=101455710-f059c4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
