Social Robot?
smashr writes "Researchers are currently putting the finishing touches on robots that will be attending the AAAI (American Association for Artificial Intelligence) conference this year as part of the AAAI robot challenge. In addition to robots wearing tuxedos and serving drinks, several robots designed to actually register themselves will be participating in the conference. One such robot is GRACE, being built by Carnegie Mellon University and the Naval Research Lab (among others). GRACE features a digital face and speech recognition to interact with people attending the conference. (She even runs Linux!) Her goal is to register for the conference, give a speech and answer questions. Stories at: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, CNN.com, and USA Today."
Someone built a robot that can wear a tuxedo and serve drinks? What's that, the Dean Martin test?

ARTI-Mac is an artificial mack daddy. he runs big johnny's pub in my video game virtual pimp (written in QuickBasic 4.5)
you go in the bar and "talk to the man behind the counter" then it opens up an Dr. Sbatso type session where you talk about guns, drugs and rap music. it was the inspiration for my online game which is still down due to TYAN!! if you don't believe me about the TYAN boards, just read this thread, they are blowing up left and right.
lets hope GRACE was made with and ASUS!
