Linux-powered Robots From France? Oui!
An anonymous reader writes "A French start-up created to build autonomous, easily programmable, affordable humanoid robots expects to ship its first product — a humanoid household service robot running Linux — in early 2007. The walking, talking, WiFi-enabled Nao household robot will stand 21.6 inches tall, and will feature 23 "degrees of freedom" of motion — three more than the 14-inch tall Choromet android announced earlier this week by four Japanese companies. Nao's extra degrees of freedom appear to come in the form of gripping hands."
Hello Mods, this Frenchie-joke is actually the only funny one on, right now. If you don't understand it, google for "World Cup", "Zidane" and "Head-butt", you'll see...
Because we are slashdot users. We have nothing better to do.
I know it is an attempt at a joke but it is getting very old.
In WWII the Americans had 11,200 civilian casualties, the French had 267,000. In total the Americans had 407,300 military casualties from a population of 132 million, the French had 212,000 from a population of 41.7 million.
That's so homo. Typical tripe from frenchies too. Why do these idiots persist in spreading their crap? I'll bet the guys in that band have sailor moon dolls they sleep with too. Anyone who likes this kind of crap is gay.
Don't forget bashing America for being brutal when we show up to save their asses yet again.
