Wired News coverage of the 2005 Robots Exhibition and Open House at the National Science Foundation (September 2005). We presented a humanoid robot head that would scan crowds for interesting or salient people and things, in a very human-like manner. This work is in collaboration with Prof. Stefan Schaal's lab at USC. Also see this funny coverage of the exhibit at Engadget, and more pictures at the Chinese People's Daily Online.
