Maybe the android has a small radio antenna built into it, and it communicates with the machine the perlbot is running on over packet radio or something. I'll bet it's slow to do everything over the network, though, so the robot probably handles low-level routines (coordinating leg movements for walking, simulating breathing, etc) locally using some built-in processors, and only communicates with its server for simulation of higher cognitive functions. -- cliff crawford http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/cjc26/ main(q){6-q&&main(q+1),putchar(67+3*(19%q-q/4));} To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
