Well, the connection to the network of Net computers would be at Wifi speed, which has some implications..
But, basically: yes The mind could be on a network of 100 linux boxes, and linked by wifi to the single linux box controlling the body... The bot could operate in public places where there are available wifi connections ;-) ben g On 4/26/07, Mike Tintner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

The robots can take many forms, from a three-wheeled model with a mounted camera to a flower loaded with infrared sensors. They can be easily customized and their ability to wirelessly link to the Internet allows users to control and monitor their robots' actions from any Internet-connected computer in the world. ... ------------------------------ This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?&; ------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
