The University of Plymouth is preparing to embark on a four-year project to teach a 3 foot humanoid baby robot, the iCub, to talk. Robotics experts and language development specialists will work together on the unique research which will include tasks similar to ordinary toddler games like stacking wooden blocks and fitting shapes through corresponding holes in a box.

The iCub will arrive in Devon next year and the hope is that it will be able to name objects and learn simple phrases such as "robot puts stick on cube." The university beat 31 other entrants to receive £4.7m in funding for the project. Anyone else slightly put in mind of the projects teaching primates sign language? How long before Michael Crichton writes a book about this?

There is noticeably a bundle to learn about this. I assume you made sure nice points in features also.

The university is doing a great job so far. To make the robot talk just cost them 4,7 million, this is just the beginning. I hope they will be very successful in the future.
