The robots invent new words to describe experiences, places and plans and share these words with fellow robots. Janet Wiles, a cognitive scientist at University Queensland, heads up a team within the project. These rolling droids have cameras, laser range finders, sonar, miicrophones and a speaker. Their language is built from strings of beeps with each string corresponding to a letter in the alphabet. The robots roam thorugh a course and meet each other from time to time. When they find a place that is unfamiliar to them they give it a name adding it to their lexicon. Next step for these robots is to begin to speak to humans.
