Diego-san
"DIEGO-SAN", by Hanson for the Machine Perception Lab at the UCSD Institute for Neural Computation. With a face by David Hanson and Hanson Robotics, which mounts on a body by Kokoro, this robotic baby boy was built with funding from the National Science Foundation and serves cognitive A.I. and human-robot interaction research. With high definition cameras in the eyes, Diego San sees people, gestures, expressions, and uses A.I. modeled on human babies, to learn from people, the way that a baby hypothetically would. The facial expressions are important to establish a relationship, and communicate intuitively to people. As much a work of art as technology and science, this represents a step forward in the development of emotionally relevant robotics, building on previous work of David Hanson with the Machine Perception Lab such as the emotionally responsive Einstein shown at TED in 2009.

Leaping Lizard inspire robot design
I found this article a while ago when I was looking for reference for the animal study.
It is amazing to learn that a tail can has such an impact in an animal locomotion.
And more important, found this video continue to track back to the 1993's Jurassic Park, where they finally realized the film actually captured the correct tail movement before the theropod dinosaurs jumped.

Pixels!
As I'm looking up reference for my previous 643 project, I came across this cool visualization concept and tool in Structure Synth (http://structuresynth.sourceforge.net/).
It is built by C++, OpenGL and qt4. It is suppose to be able to generate 3D objects in cubical or 'pixelated' form.
I felt excited about this, however I have no idea how I may actually utilize it in any of my projects yet.
Some of the examples I found:
//PIXELS 8 bit invading NY
