It's In the Name
There have been a few more articles about the CMU robot named Grace. It can wander around and interact with people via a animated face on a flat screen display. The aim is to attend a conference, and behave like any other geeky scientist present. Blessed with laser and sonar sensors, it can avoid obstacles without really needing to see them. The cameras come in handy for focusing on faces. Speech recognition is also apparently present, but I've no idea to what extent the robot can respond to what it recognises!
