Dugmor was showing at Internext some robots there that seemed 70% lifelike so there is improvement made and much much more to be made in the future. Compared to other modes that foreigners create - America seems to be way behind in realism.
As far as the awards go - over the years people are always happy to get one - brag about it - show it off on their website - but in the end and behind closed doors - it really didn't help greatly in increasing sales. Which is what it's all about and as soon as the year is out your award becomes obsolete as the next companies moves in.
Kindly of like Oscars - many awards are giving - some we don't know who the hell they are and why they are on the stage but there they are - and other awards rarely want us to pick them to work with - it truly comes down to the people you work with and cost.
So - ya - networking - bragging etc. but not much in substance because at the end of the day deals are made based on referrals and who you know and trust not awards. Not to mention the past few years we've seen awards given that are paid for in one way or another (which we all knew)
