</FONT><P>
<FONT size="2">Staff at the University of Plymouth will work with a 1m-high (3ft) humanoid baby robot called iCub.
</FONT></P><P>
<FONT size="2">Over the next four years robotics experts will work with language development specialists who research how parents teach children to speak.
</FONT></P><P>
<FONT size="2">Their findings could lead to the development of humanoid robots which learn, think and talk.
</FONT></P><P>
<FONT size="2">The project is believed to be the first of its kind in the world and typical  experiments with the iCub robot will include activities such as inserting objects of various shapes into the corresponding holes in a box, serialising nested cups and stacking wooden blocks.</FONT></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/devon/7268965.stm"><FONT size="2">The iCub, which will arrive at the university next year, will also be asked to name objects and actions so that it acquires basic phrases such as "robot puts stick on cube".
