I mean, it's great that by some ambiguous process of interpretation they can translate my dreams into the way this robot moves, but what the hell does it mean? I assume the actions just directly correlate to the way my body is moving in my dream, but that's the boring part. The interesting part about dreams is all context. For example, you're flying in a dream. So then they robot positions itself as if it's flying. I don't really care about that. What I want to know is where am I flying? What do I see? How do I interact with objects in my dreams and what are they?<br><br>Anyways, I guess criticism shouldn't be so harsh because all this research has to start somewhere, but the robot seems kind of ridiculous.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ryan Bateman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2008 7:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Humanoid acts out your dreams, encourages insomnia]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/16/humanoid-acts-out-your-dreams-encourages-insomnia/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/16/humanoid-acts-out-your-dreams-encourages-insomnia/</guid><description><![CDATA[wet dream anyone?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Simon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2008 7:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Humanoid acts out your dreams, encourages insomnia]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/16/humanoid-acts-out-your-dreams-encourages-insomnia/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/16/humanoid-acts-out-your-dreams-encourages-insomnia/</guid><description><![CDATA[so what would it do when I have that recurring nightmare I have of a robot strangling me...?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zhalfim Deyn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2008 8:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Humanoid acts out your dreams, encourages insomnia]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/16/humanoid-acts-out-your-dreams-encourages-insomnia/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/16/humanoid-acts-out-your-dreams-encourages-insomnia/</guid><description><![CDATA[I don't get why they simulate it with a Robot when a computer model seems entirely more capable of communicating body language and movement.. also being unrestricted by slow mechanics etc..<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Osiris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2008 9:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Humanoid acts out your dreams, encourages insomnia]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/16/humanoid-acts-out-your-dreams-encourages-insomnia/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/16/humanoid-acts-out-your-dreams-encourages-insomnia/</guid><description><![CDATA[The downside is this robot only plays DOOM in your dreams.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Yevon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2008 9:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Humanoid acts out your dreams, encourages insomnia]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/16/humanoid-acts-out-your-dreams-encourages-insomnia/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/16/humanoid-acts-out-your-dreams-encourages-insomnia/</guid><description><![CDATA[Come on, who really does things like fly in your dreams?
