    Can we have some adjectives? Please? I understand they're doing 'stuff', and I imagine it has to do with robots, but what?

    And what's a cowork? Is this some sort of Tolkien/Gary Larson crossover?

      OOoooo, stuff. I love stuff. Especially cool stuff. I can't wait to RTFA about cool stuff. Stuff they are working on. Then share it with my coworks. That will be cool.

    Yeap they are paied up. I get 25Gb of bandwidth a month (lets hope it will hold with slashdot)

    I also posted straight to the Mov because I don't think the slashdot people would want to see the blog or entry but if you are intersted the blog entry is at this link any my site is here

    I don't know why this is marked as "Overrated," but it's correct. Her name is Valerie and her official title is "Roboceptionist."

    Been at RI for over a year now. I highly urge anyone interested in the video to apply. You can _easily_ be working on any of those projects if you just apply yourself.

    The video only showed a small fraction of what is to be found at RI.
