Here you will be able to see our progress on the work we're doing on the robot and share engineering knowledge on how to construct your Johnny 5. We are working closely with the robot designer/builder Eric Allard to produce the most accurate, high quality and the most functional plans ever created.

New and future developments in science and technology.

The objective of the MECA SAPIENS project is to produce a realistic and programmable blueprint to build a conscious machine. This site publishes the evolving results of this research endeavour. the primary portion of the blueprint should be completed by the end of 2010.

The MECA SAPIENS blueprint is based on a definition of consciousness that is sufficiently general yet suitable for machine implementation and a definition of intelligence that corresponds; a world first. Those who follow this project will know, by the end of 2010, that a new form of consciousness is about to emerge in the world.

"Our users can create and teach their own virtual characters (we call them "infs"). Infs' creators choose appearance for their infs, teach them anything they want and post them on Facebook, MySpace, Blogger.com, Wordpress or any other website. Having read a conversation logs of the inf, the user can modify the replies directly in the logs, to make the inf smarter. "

"We're thrilled to announce the launch of SitePal 3D Photoface, a new feature which allows SitePal users to rapidly create lifelike 3D speaking avatars from a digital photograph. The Photoface avatars can be easily scripted by voice recording or built-in text-to-speech features, and then published to a Web page through a simple short HTML code, instantly humanizing and personalizing customers' interaction online."

Pandorabots SpellBinder scanned publicly available fan-compiled transcripts of 72 episodes of the original Star Trek TV series. In those 72 episodes, Captain Kirk has about 9000 lines of dialog. Pandorabots SpellBinder read these lines and created a Captain Kirk chat bot with about 2000 unique categories and 6000 responses (a category is the basic unit of knowledge). Pandorabots SpellBinder also created a chat bot representations of Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy.

"This program I made lets you easily bring your Pandora bot to MSN. It uses the Multi-IM services of BitlBee to communicate with your bot and MSN user. When a MSN User sends your bot a message on MSN Messenger it gets sent to BitlBee which then gets sent to the program, and the program will then send the user's message to your bot on the Pandora servers. After the bot makes a response the program then takes that message and sends it back to the user or a conversation if the message was sent from a MSN Conversation with multiple people.

Since RunABot shut down their services my AIM to MSN Transport Program no longer works, so I decided to make a program that does the same with Pandora Bots. So, I basically took the code from my AIM to MSN Transport program and changed it to use Pandora Bot's XML instead of AIM to send messages to bot and get bot messages back. So basically with this program you can all the features from my old program and more!"

"I was transferring stuff to my new computer, after I uploaded it to multiple cloud sites. Now, lo and behold, a thought struck me; Hey! I've got plenty of items in my AI folder people might find useful/interesting! So, my virtual library is now open to you :)"
