This will tell you about the aims of our current work. At the moment our robotics work is still getting off the ground, though. We have also begun working with Mark Tilden, who builds awesome robot bodies... This video tells the story of our growing collaboration in a less formal way: hftps://wwvv.youtube.com/watch?v=VblofRjtXjQ By the way, a 48-minute documentary film discussing some earlier, similar robotics work I did in 2009 is here: http://singularityorbust.com Also, attached find some photos of our robots.... (The Femi-Einstein ones are just for fun and obviously not suitable for an article... I just crudely duct-taped one of David Hanson's Einstein heads on one of Mark Tilden's FemiSapien bodies. Because -- well -- why not ? ) A research paper discussing the computer vision aspects of our robotics work is here: http://goertzel.org/agi-13/DeSTIN_PLN_v3.pdf and a crude video of that talk is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKcwHFniCtc thx Ben On Thu.
