The Robot Hall of Fame just inducted their newest class of Robots. The RHF commemorates the contributions of fictional and real robots, and the induction ceremony is a great mix of sci-fi buffs and robotics researchers.

I attended the 2004 induction ceremony and got to shake hands with both C3-PO (Anthony Daniels) and ASIMO. Lots of fun! This year I'm most excited about Gort, because that is the name of my home computer. But AIBO is definitely another worthy inductee.

This article gives a full description of the robots and the ceremony: Robot Hall Of Fame Inducts Gort, Sony's AIBO.
