Robot

Used to be a fairly focused article on a rather large topic, but lately wiki-entropy has taken over, and a vast amount of random and poorly worded sections have slipped in. Needs a thorough cleaning and tightening to the core of the topic, along with sources for the assertions made throughout. —LeFlyman 18:02, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup now in progress. Kcordina 09:12, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the robot competition material to a new page at Robot competition. That page needs a good cleanup, which I'll do once I'm finished here. Kcordina 10:00, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think we're now 90% there. Could someone have a read and offer some comments. It still needs a thorough proof read so there may be some typos left. Also need to shorten the list of links at the end, but I think this is a good point for a first round of feedback. Kcordina 15:53, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The whole field of robots and robotics has undergoing rapid and signficant development and change. I expect this article will continue to morph for the next several years at least. In spite of being both a passionate and professional roboticist for 10 years, I have refrained from editing it too much, prefering to wait for things to calm down a bit. We can't even agree on what a robot is yet! Example: The Vita Craft RFID cooking system keeps appearing in the article, which in my humble opinion is in no way a robot.

I suggest we have a discussion explicitly about the definition of "robot". pes 7/APR/06
