Hey Ben, You may be interested in the very good Japanese anime 'Hikaru No Go', about a super-intelligent Go-master called SAI. Excellent way for a child (or anyone) to learn about Japanese and Go at the same time. Very good anime! Sample YouTube first 10 minutes of Episode 1: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=A0t5kfkSxO8&feature=related

Hi Ben, I have been discussing for the first time with Hugo a very long time ago (at that time, I think he was still working in Belgium). I can see he didn't changed too much wink Very fascinating guy indeed... I am happy he could continue with the Nao project you describes which I believe is the right way to apply his neural networks research. By the way, what about using Webots as a simulation tool for your Nao project? Webots already includes a model of the Nao robot (it was selected to be used for the Nao simulation league during the next RoboCup to be held in Suzhou (close to Shanghai)). The Nao simulation comes free of charge with the demo version of Webots. In case you could be interested, I would happy to help you out. Cheers, -Olivier
