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."

    I just heard some sad news on the radio - beloved racecar driver Dale Earnhart Jr's balls got burned off at the Infineon Grand Prix of Sonoma at Infineon Raceway today. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss his balls - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
