Scientists have designed the robot to mimic the actions of a child - their findings could lead to the development of humanoid robots which learn, think and talk.


No, their findings could help drum up some more research funding. Which is why they've built a robot child. And got the video put on the BBC.

Building something that walks like a wanker doesn't help you understand the process of learning. Getting that bit worked out doesn't need arms and legs, for goodness sake.

It'd be cooler if it could ride on that army robot dog thing. Whilst firing a laser pistol.
