A friend of mine was just accepted to an elite robotics and AI program in Japan. I was looking through their site and found some strange and funny indications of what the Japanese expect their robots to do...

Properly exhibit SHAME! (video)

So if you like robots, and are also into flames, explosives and the such, then you really should check out Survival Research Labs.

Very cool shit...

That's just Techno-Performance Art. I am talking about fundamental innovations in human-computer interaction, not cinema...

Cinema today involves lots of human-computer interaction.

BTW, I really enjoyed the movie AI...

I am all for robotics...you should come down to my end of the Bay someday and visit the Tech Museum of Innovation and take a tour of Adept with me.
