There's been almost a viral posting about RoboCup doing the rounds since obviously the World Cup is under way and the slightly lesser know RoboCup 2010 competition is under way in Singapore.
The article, which originated in the Guardian, refers to Prof. Manuela Veloso as "he". Manuela who has been very influential in Robocup for years though is a lady. The cynical may of course think "oh of course, the reporter assumes all computer science Professors must be male". Hopefully not from a liberal newspaper like the Guardian.
Unfortunately all the reposts, blogs reports and tweets of this continue to spread the error.

Last Week of Lectures...
...and we have that glorious window between the end of lectures and exam marking. So I should be able to get some writing done for a few weeks.
Still loosing time with the new Nao robot. I've just put in a bid to Faculty to purchase three more so we can have a RoboCup team. That would be cool, the students would love it.
