Hi!

Does anyone have details about the Robot Olympics held recently in
Edinburgh?  I heard a short report on it today in the morning on the
BBC and they mentioned that the most successful robot was one designed
in Japan, which executed some kind of obstacle avoidance and compliant
motion.  The programme did not go into technical details.  

Could someone out there, especially some in the UK give us more
information?
