Robots abound in fiction and film, from Asimov's R. Daneel Olivaw to Star Wars' R2D2 and C3PO. Isaac Asimov's Robots at www.evansville.net/~bob/robots/index.html documents and reviews all of Asimov's books and stories about robots. Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics at www.sfwriter.com/rmasilaw.htm discusses whether Asimov's three laws have an impact on AI research. You can learn about a real prototype humanoid robot at The Cog Shop, www.ai.mit.edu/projects/cog/. Interact with some real robots at KhepOnTheWeb, KhepOnTheWeb.epfl.ch, The Telegarden, telegarden.aec.at, and Where in the World is Xavier the Robot, www.cs.cmu.edu/~Xavier. You can learn about the winner of the 1997 Japanese Robotics competition at the Autonomous Mobile Robotics Lab, www.cs.umd.edu/projects/amrl/amrl.html. You can find a list of robotics journals at dent.ii.fmph.uniba.sk/ui/faqs/part3/faq-doc-32.html.
