Discussion of object recognition with distance sensors

Techy?
I did the great Frits! test and I got 1 point. Which makes me an arty. But this discussion doesn’t really apply here because CTC has build Walter in such a way that it could carry two full size tower PCs and his whole family without a sweat.

I love you guys!!
I just got home from work to find all these great replies… I love it, keep it coming. However, I have been giving this question a lot of thought and, although the original question still stands, I have found it is part of a much larger question about overall robot “personality”. Again, please keep adding to this thread if you will, but I have also started a second post dealing with a more generalized question of behaviour. I would be much appreciative to get your thoughts over here.
