Hanson Robotics' "Zeno RoboKind, hero of the Singularity"

This little guy is not just a platform for pursuing robot sentience. He's not just an adventurer. I think he'll be the way that robots achieve wisdom, compassion, and evolve into VALIS--the vast active living intelligence system, known by some as the Singularity

@kittypr1nc3ss I've tried but havent got any responses

[kittypr1nc3ss]

it's 2010.

They must've scrapped the project. Or keeping it a secret. But they better hurry. 2011 is coming soon, and thats when we will know that they have forgot about Zeno

I met him! He's at the mueseum of science and industry

@CJBroesky

well why don't you contact hanson robotics? There contact information is in the video

[CJBroesky]

I wish the company would give us some updates on this robot!! I can't acces thier website or zeno's world anymore. They probably scrapped the project. This sucks!

NEED UPDATES!!

@rvrocks09 lol hanson never answers anyone and hasnt said anything new about it since 07.. i bet its scrapped or just never publicly available... i have wanted one for a long time since i lover robotics but i cant every find any info on him

Zeno needs to be able to wander around the home and initiate small talk with kids and provide interaction dynamically. It should be capable of self charging.

@Slip819 Interesting. I'll check that out.

@KeanuGrym While you're most-probably correct about this specific robot, though, you should check out HTM theory of the neo-cortex, developed by the Redwood Center For Neuroscience, they understand quite a bit more than the laymen thinks they do. Exponentially more than they did 10 years ago, they already have computers/machines that can *understand* "large" quantities of otherwise completely ambiguous stimuli. Currently the earliest models are sold to uncover money loss in business models.
