I hope they dont use the human brain as the template.

Best quote: "If you start off with AI's that are like children, whether in the virtual world or in a robot world, if you think about it, how much use is a young baby?

Not much use. If you didn't know that it was going to grow into something else, you'd quickly throw it in the garbage for being a waste of resources..which some people do, I'm not advocating it."-Ben Goertzel

[Erwin J]

Amazing talk.

Merge OpenCog with ROS.  Add RDF.

As someone involved in robotics research. I think the point of current robotics research is on providing a mobility API. Finding a time series of low level torque commands which achieves positioning tasks in minimum time while avoiding instabilities such as having the feet tip over, slide, twist, etc is not trivial. This is the field of control theory and robotic motion planning. As a side note NAO doesn't have force sensors so its basically a toy in terms of robot control. Consider HOAP instead
