Ben Kuipers takes us through his investigations to date on the subject of robotic cognition - using some very adorable footage of a "research student" (actually the students 2yo son) to show just how far we have yet to go. Focusses on the "grasp" function of human object interaction. Bit slow in places as it's just audio and the slides were important, but could help someone find further information.
Sorry for WMA, it's the native format my dictaphone uses =S
There is another up there for linguists - Geoff Ketland discusses his notion of language as platonic solids... I found it VERY interesting stuff.
Note: I'll keep them up for a week or two in case anyone is interested, but I'll be using the domain for something soon, so can't provide permanent links.
also of interest,
