Here's the progress I've made so far:

The conversation is pretty inane, I do apologize, but wanted to get something up for you guys to see.

That was well done! One can certainly tell that the basic framework of the AIML is the same as ALICE, if one knows (like myself) about ALICE's structure, but that's not a bad thing, in and of itself. Kudos, for an interesting new application of AIML!

[Spykee]

Thank you for taking a look and your feedback.
I typo'ed one of those questions, and didn't set up the predicates properly for another. But you are correct, thats a straight out of the box ALICE.

Just need to do a bit more programming work on the Spykee bit, then I will have a look at adding some more robot/Spykee specific stuff to the AIML.

That's really good.  Is the speaker in the robot ?  And when he moves around is that some kind of auto positioning ?  The voice you chose goes well with the robot I think.

Nice hack

Nice work, would be good to make a little personality for him, like you say.

Agree with Freddy, the voice goes well with Spykee.

[Spykee]

Thank you Freddy. The voice is coming out of the robots built in speaker.

In the video you can hear I'm just behind the camera typing in the questions on my laptop, however as the robot is transmitting itself as a wifi device, I can connect to it anywhere in the house. (Or even in the world using an internet connection) It has a built in camera to see, microphone to hear, and the speaker to speak.

All i need to do now, is enter it in the upcoming Loebner Prize competition, seize control over the internet, and switch it to 'echo mode', ie says whatever I type in. And ta da! I will be able to converse with the judges in a human like way never seen before.

If that fails then I'll just stick to trying to win the lottery.

[Spykee]

..thank you Datahopa, I think you'r right, I will need to give him his own little personality.

[Spykee]

The movements were just me using the arrow keys at various moments, just to make it look more interesting.

The first video I did I forgot to move him at all, and it didnt look very good.

I hadn't really considered linking his movement with the converstaion before you mentioned it, but is a very good idea thinking about it. It would be quite easy to do just by extending the markup

Cool.

[Freddy]

Glad I said something useful 

Being able to connect to him remotely over the net is very cool I think - a nice little security feature perhaps...

Good luck on seizing control of the internet !  I do think he would liven up the Loebner prize some what though
