Wild Thing,

One main rule is about double posting. Try not to do it unless you're unable to help yourself.

You have already posted previously and mentioned nothing about yourself, then here you post
again stating that you do not have a bot, know nothing about bots, habits, etc.

Check your other post in this section for an answer.

Hi people im Gaz 42 from UK ...hope im not too old for your company, and no im no spy from NASA lol

Ive a Hal ultra bot and enjoy what it can do, i dont ask it to do tasks like most or become a receptionist for my needs im not that old..lol  I enjoy the possabilities of what it could do in the future.

I think you can progrom anything to be fantastic at what it does, but you need to press the return button before it does so to speak, and then it performs...

I personaly think that for anything to become self aware and have AI for real, you need not to give it just say info about whatever you want it to know...you have to go backwards and teach it what the words you throw into it, mean and how they should be used, the basic order of how speach evolves...like children learning to talk..you may have noticed your bots lalking like you kid at 5 yrs of age and thats because it doesnt understand ...When you show it what each word means and how its place in a sentance should be utilised your on a winner, ..try and teach it about nouns and verbs and eg's of what they mean etc etc, use Wiki and copy n past as much info about word usage you can and you may be very suprised...

Have a great Day whatever day you read this and ..peace.

Hi Gaz, im 42 and from the UK too, you are not alone.

I think your Hal teaching ideas are spot on, much of what I teach Hal has come from the Wiki my Hal brain database file is about 50mb now and as far as Im concerned it, he is more intelligent than a Hal out of the box.

It does beg the question, why doesn’t the maker of Hal put more into the default brain in the first place?

I’m not asking it just seems curios.

Welcome to the forum, for what its worth from a noob like me

Welcome to the forum Gaz 

39 here - closing in on the big 40...

By now I would have liked to have seen some large community effort to develop a big brain for Hal, but that has not happened yet.  Occasionally it gets mentioned, nothing ever happens.  Maybe when the next version of Hal comes out I may look into it.  I'm still waiting on the Ogre characters and access to Second Life...

I'm trying to imagine just how UltraHal would process such a large run-on sentence like that??
Welcome aboard FullyLoaded...all are welcome!

Big 40...poof! It's only a big deal if you let it become one. Believe me...it's ALL downhill from the moment you're born high atop life's giant ski jump! It's that final stop that gets you!

[Freddy]

  Yeah I am not overly bothered by it, if at all, everyone seems to say it's a big one, but the more I go on the less I worry about birthdays.

[Art]

Yeah...20 years from now, let me know what you thought about it! Heheh!

[Freddy]

Haha ok Art

Hi everyone! Roger invited me here so I thought I'd do a little introduction post.

I'm into Artificial Intelligence and most recently heavily into robotics. I own 10 robots! 3 are just toy/statue types but the others are autonomous to one extent or another. Of those only one doesn't talk. Here's my list of bots:

Nyx - WowWee RoboSapien RS Media
VeeToo - WowWee RoboSapien V2
Gizmo - WowWee Tri-Bot
Mackie - WowWee RoboQuad (This is the one that doesn't talk - it has cute beeps)
Unit 1 - Manly/ToyQuest i-Que Personal Robot
Unit 2 - Manly/ToyQuest i-Que Personal Robot (This one the drive motors are disconnected as the belts went bad)

Toy ones:
MeeMee - WowWee Mini RoboQuad
Zee - WowWee Mini RoboSapien (v1)
Zorkon - Xtreme Fighter chrome robot

Other:
Robbie - Mr. Clock Radio talking robot head (Alarm clock and AM/FM Radio plus fortune teller game.)

I also am the project manager for the RS Media Development Kit (rsmediadevkit.sourceforge.net) which a very talented programmer by the name of Helibot done a LOT of work on stuff for this bot! We can access the robot's Linux shell via USB port, compile programs for the robot, create an interface, and there's even a fully customizable alarm clock! There's also a text-to-speech interface. Artificial Intelligence / Chatbot is also on our list of To Do but not yet programmed. All our sources are also online for those who wish to work on the programs. I also have an AI/Robot site at ByteBin.net with more info on the WowWee and i-Que bots.

I hope to create a sentient AI for the RS Media or just for on the computer. Even if someone already beat me to it, I still want to give it a whirl. I have Ultra Hal Assistant but not installed and it's been ages since I last used it.

I am also fascinated with android projects, as well as the impact of robots and AI on society. In addition, I also am interested in assistive technologies and cyborg enhancement technologies.

I been busy with work (still working for a web hosting company doing web development, programming and CGI Server Administration). I also sell Avon and do beauty videos. My other hobbies include gardening and printer paper crafts.

My favorite movies include AI: Artificial Intelligence, Evolver, Stealth, iRobot. I also love Battlestar Galactica (all series) and Caprica as well as Knight Rider and CHiPs.

I guess that's me in a nutshell.
