Ideas?

I've recently had the idea to create/make a robot similar to Andrew Martin in The Bicentennial Man and Sonny in I, Robot.

Now there are walking, learning, ping ponging robots out there. Whether the robots can do all three is probably debatable. I'm talking about the ASIMO's of Honda and TOPIO of Tosy.

Well, i plan my robot to be able to play tennis, cook, learn, clean. Ok, so that is a daunting task - seeing the only thing i've programmed are little programs for the computer - not making things move. I guess, i shall just have to learn then, won't I?

I'll let you know, how i get on. If you know anything about robotics, mechanics or programming please get in touch.
