Kadonnut kaupunki.
http://www.kadonnutkaupunki.net/ is our work, a GamE? in TheRealWorld / PhysicalWorld - in Oulu, Finland 2007 & 2008.
Life2008 .. like http://youtube.com/watch?v=Mm-zWnEJBog ?
that one is something different: http://ameba.lpt.fi/~hyvonaar/kuvat_saation_sivuille/2007/kadonnut_kaupunki/
but this seems fun enough, Oulu workshop_2008 http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=mKkwRUP3Ug8
HansonRobotics? is not affiliated, but says fun enough stuff in what they do
(from http://hansonrobotics.com/about.htm)
Our RobotsHanson's virtual human counterparts are designed to fit roles within the entertainment, animation, consumer/household and medical worlds. These lifetime partners can also be created as custom, one-of-kind life-sized character robots through a process known as Identity Emulation, where a real person (living or dead) is recreated in robotic form. Prior examples include the PKD Robot and the Albert-Hubo robot. Our understanding and interpretation of biological and neurological systems further secures a top leadership position within robotics and the ongoing innovation of its products and patented core technologies.
What makes our robots unique? Start with the ability to simulate unparalleled interactive, humanlike facial features thanks to Frubber™ with the integration of a broad range of leading-edge innovations in materials, hardware, software, aesthetics, characters and stories, including:
- Emulation of over 62 facial and neck muscular architectures Visual recognition via micro-cameras Face and speech recognition, eye contact tracking, and conversational operations utilizing the latest AI software Portable, power-efficient battery operation A standard computer interface
Our robots exhibit the highest level of physical functionality in the industry using an advanced motion-control system to walk, talk, maintain eye contact, recognize faces and speech patterns, and simulate a real person's personality. All of this is achieved through our advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) software architecture.
another bot thing, this time for virtual worlds / simulation:
The Masa Group had an impressive AI system for creating intelligent bots which can be used as tour guides, as "extras" to wander around a world, or as characters in a simulation. They'll work with customers to integrate these bots into any virtual world.http://blogs.sun.com/wonderland/entry/day_2_of_virtual_worlds http://www.masa-sci.com/ http://www.masa-sci.com/directia.htm
