Thread: Sadie & Kaya Warwick Test

Has this been talked about yet? From Sadie & Kaya's newsletter:

** WARWICK TEST – Sadie & Kaya are the inspiration for the Warwick Test.
Sadie and Kaya's performance viewed on a YouTube clip inspires British
cyberneticist, Professor Kevin Warwick to posit a Warwick Test of
in distinguish ability between human and machine during a belly-dance: "When/if a machine could do that (and you can't tell the difference from a human) then it would have passed the Warwick Test". Is anyone up for the challenge of building such a robot that could beat Sadie and Kaya?

I once saw plans for a bellydancer robot....

Alan Turing would be so proud.

Is this the one you're referring to?

A New Belly-Dancing Robot

I just go the Sadie & Kaya newsletter today that mentioned it. Evidently a professor of cybernetics saw a youtube clip of their IAMED drum solo performance, and issued a statement that the ultimate test of making a robot would be making one that could dance just like Sadie & Kaya. Sounds to me like he's another professor just trying to get himself quoted. I don't expect a flood of attempted bellydancer-bots, but who knows?

Forget the robot, I would be thrilled if I could get me to dance like Sadie.
