First Humanoid Robot That Will Develop Language

First Humanoid Robot That Will Develop Language May Be Coming Soon: "iCub, a one metre-high baby robot which will be used to study how a robot could quickly pick up language skills, will be available next year."

"ITALK aims to teach the robot to speak by employing the same methods used by parents to teach their children. Professor Nehaniv and Professor Dautenhahn, who are European leaders in Artificial Intelligence and Human Robot Interaction, will conduct experiments in human and robot language interaction to enable the robot to converse with humans.

"Typical experiments with the iCub robot will include activities such as inserting objects of various shapes into the corresponding holes in a box, serialising nested cups and stacking wooden blocks. Next, the iCub will be asked to name objects and actions so that it acquires basic phrases such as "robot puts stick on cube".
