Fetchez la Biere
There was a strange robot at E3 this year, dubbed young toddler. Its developers (Evolution Robotics) designed the bot to be able to visually recognise simple objects and scenes, and navigate around until it sees them. So you can show it the kitchen, and it may theoretically fetch the beer (does it even have any arms?) Aside blatently being sponsored by Heineken, I'm still not sure why it was at E3. Creators claim it's "because game developers are looking to push the boundaries." Sure! But maybe not in that direction; something a bit more competent and human-like may eventually make it into a game -- if you can get the game developers to see AI as more than just FSM & A*. |

Detecting Intruders and Teasing Cats
It seems there's nothing this little robot can't do! A marketting department's dream... Apparently, he can be set to respond to movement, or when unknown faces are detected. Teasing the cat is also something that comes naturally! PC World - Introducing the Robot Patrol
