So whats to stop us from combining the wonderful yet scarey movement abilities of Asimov with somthing as simple yet intricate as a the Touring Contest winner in 2002 codenamed A.L.I.C.E.
The results would be intrigueing yet frightening I think. A fully mobile 8 year old that repeats everything you say if it doesn't understand you! I think that this idea would be an interesting touring test if you applied it to trying to fool a human being in a real life situation. Like if you designed a robot that looked like a person, with rubberized skin and all. Then use a touring type program in combination with the body, place the robot in a public situation, like a static pose like sitting on a bench or somthing, and roll the camera! It would almost be like candid camera meets the touring test! I think it should be done, if it hasn't already.
