Personality

I didn't realise I was also supposed to judge the hamsterness of some bots. Hmmm... I wonder if anybody has done a chimp or gorilla bot? Some chimps can speak a few words in sign language. I also wonder if the Loebner contest would award something to a bot that successfully convinced the judges of being a chimp.

I wrote a bot that was very convincing as a spreadsheet. Fooled everyone!

I once made a robot that successfully convinced everyone it was a useless piece of junk. It even convinced me!

I made a robot that convinced everyone it was a robot... It said "I am a robot" and that's it.

That wouldn't be enough to convince me.

It's not what you say, it's how you say it.

Maybe they could tweak the Turing Test a little more, so now....not only is it sufficient for a bot to convince us it's a bot, but a useless piece of junk can convince us it's a useless piece of junk, and win the prize.

I'm not convinced that any bots are bots. So there!

Hi
I have not posted here before being new but while on the BBC's website remembered the post about building robots. They had 'build your own' kits there at around $40 some of which are programable that might provide the starting point for something more sophisticated.
The page was at http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/robots/ if its of any help.

cool! thanks!
