>Alan Alda visits robots with minds of their own. Some of the likely
>"autonomous" robots in the show include COG (with the mind a six-month-old
>baby). Alan also introduces FRONTIERS viewers to participants in an
>Intelligent Robot contest, where he'll meet the latest incarnation of an old
>acquaintance from a previous show, an autonomous robot named Flakey.
