The following project has been proposed. Design and implement an
Intelligent System with the following characteristics. The system
is to run in real time and be portable. Memory and processing units
must be in the same enclosure, run on low power and not overheat.
(a) Full colour binocular vision, with motion perception.
(b) Speech processing and speech synthesis.
(c) Natural language ability :-
    (1) Semantic ability
    (2) Translation.
    (3) Ability to summarise.
    (4) Humour (optional).
(d) Learning ability.
(e) Ability to control a large number of servo mechanisms, with strength
    and sensitivity.
(f) Other tasks, as yet unspecified, but the system must be able
    to cope with extra requirements, as and when the need arises,
    using characteristic (d).
