LivingCreatures- The Beginning Of 'I, Robot?'

Posted by timothy on from the little-freaky-there-now dept.

An Anonymous Reader writes "LivingCreatures.com has released several new photos of the humanoid robot platform that it developed for the USC Interaction Lab. The yet to be named robot is about the same size as an 18-month-old child and will serve as a human-robot interaction (HRI) testbed for studies involving imitation, learning, and the effects that interaction with humanoid robots has on children."

    It's not worth the time travel. That stuff is dangerous; you don't want to accidentally end up in 2030 or so.

    For most of us /.ers that tend not to RTFA, it's primarliy because we can properly weigh the importance of making first post with absorbing any relevant material contained therein. Now please mod this Stupid and continue on with your daily lives.
