We will have a DC Future Salon meeting on the theme of
Cognitive Robotics, on Tues Feb 12 at 7PM

Carl Leonard, of the NIH and Lired Corp., will discuss
the current state of robotics technology. Carl is a long-time
robotics enthusiast with a quite thorough knowledge of
the domain.

Some not-fully-up-to-date info on Carl and his robotics
knowledge is given here

which PLEASE NOTE is a page associated with another
talk he gave a few years back, not with the current Future
Salon talk.

Then Ben Goertzel will briefly discuss current work
relating AI and cognitive robotics, including probabilistic
robotics such as was used in the winning entry in last
year's DARPA Grand Challenge.

Physical information is the same as the last few meetings:

> Location:
> 1133 19th St NW 9th Floor

> If you arrive between 7-7:15PM, someone will be

Looking forward to seeing y'all again ;-)
