What are the limitations of the Seekur mobile robot? http://www.activrobots.com/ROBOTS/Seekur.html
It looks fairly robust, claims autonomous navigation, and is yours for a trifling $30,000 approx. Presumably it's all fairly dedicated s/ware. But could it be adapted for general purposes? For example, Ben claims his virtual pet can, having learned to fetch a ball, autonomously learn to play hide-and-seek. Could the s/ware of this robot be similarly adapted for general learning of a broad range of navigation and simple object manipulation activities? (My guess, more generally still, is that navigation in various forms will be the field where the major AGI/robotic action will continue to happen - post Darpa challenges - for a good while - just as it was for evolution). ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=61634336-9434dd
