I, For One, Etc. of the Day: Willow Garage recently held a competition in which participants were asked to get its PR2 robot to “do something cool, funny, or useful.” First place was claimed by the “Sockification” team from UC Berkeley who managed to teach the PR2 to sort socks.
Also: To give the world’s least-pleasurable handjob.

First robot able to develop and show emotions is unveiled
Nao, developed by a European research team, models the first years of life and can form bonds with the people he meets.
When Nao is sad, he hunches his shoulders forward and looks down. When he’s happy, he raises his arms, angling for a hug. When frightened, Naohe cowers, and he stays like that until he is soothed with some gentle strokes on his head.
Fucking Great. It’s hard enough coping with our own and other peoples emotions we’ll now have to coddle robots feelings too? I thought the whole point of robots was to have something do our bidding without the whole rig-amoral of dealing with how they feel about it.
See robots with emotion at Under St Marks Theater (94 St Marks Pl, NYC), Friday Aug. 30th @ 10:30pm.
Longform comedy improv. With teams Sticks&Stones, Poolside, and Thank You Robot.
