Ben Goertzel's Emotional Dogbots
     


Ben Goertzel, CEO of Novamente, pointed out on his
twitter feed, some new interesting new AI and robot videos.
First, he writes, "some videos of our AI controlled virtual dogs,
demonstrating language
understanding, imitation and reinforcement
learning, and emotional
responsiveness. These are marked up with explanatory information;
and they are probably fairly effective in terms of explaining the
current state of the virtual-pet AI." And if you'd prefer to see
some physical rather than virtual robots, he also writes, "some
videos of the Nao
robot in the Xiamen University Artificial Brain Lab (just a very
brief and quickly-slapped-together
"teaser"; we have a lot more and better video footage that still
needs to be edited ... and will be, in time... )"
