I don't think it's MIT. Roger Penrose went there a few years ago to do research on artificial intellegence, and they told him he'd just be writing computer programs. He said that he should be studying brains, but they disagreed, so he left and went somewhere else to study brains.

This one is the most advanced robot that they made so far - or at least so I heard:

That's pretty cool, but not really proof of AI development. More like proof of fluid robot movement and the ability to co-ordinate it with a preprogrammed speech synthesizer.

Well, I guess that its just the beginning.
People are horrified of this thing anyway, at least judging by comments.

I think this is a more likely example.

Asking if a computer can think is like asking if a submarine can swim.

Umm... idk, but I saw some robotic soccer playing robotic dachshunds at darpatech. Was that your doing, centro?

My team had no money, so we were just doing software simulation, but we were exchanging a lot of ideas with the people who were working with the robot dogs. At the time, they were working on more primitive problems like vision and efficient movement. I bet if you see another demo in 10 years, the roboticists will have worked out those issues and started to integrate more of the strategy that we were working on in simulation.

Intelligence seems to have to do with the ability to remember and make predictions based on what you remember. So, I think we need to build a predictive computer, which is something we already seem to be starting to do.
