 I wish i had some pics!! Quite some time ago, I purchased the Elvis Alive and bought it for one thing in mind: (to hack!) I made my own custom flashing for it out of liquid latex (using positive app. method by hand) and turned it into a female elf! i didnt want  elvis' voice so i cut off the speakers.

I plan on installing some new ones or same ones(still have em) and hacking voice PCB to synch with mouth, as it did to elvis.

Although i have a few "personal" projects with greater detail currently under construction.

 Project1: Building/mounting animatronic head to static/or articulated plastic mannequin.

 Project2: Simulating all parts of femiSapien to upscale in lifesize dimensions to accomodate a 6ft+ replica (or re-design a bit, adding different A.I. hardware)

 Both projects are known as: "the project Brexxa"or "Brexxa project"

one will be the android: 24Seven. Most likely this will be my "type-A" prototype static mannequin hack.

 I am currently working on an A.I. system, that i like to call my "nexus".

 Some ideas of the "FemiSapien" simulated in upscale are:

1:Using transparent plastic/die-cast material for her exoskelleton.

2:Adding extra sensors,camera/s, and "A.I. nexus" into robot.

3: possibly articulating the joints some more for more DOF, such as in knees and elbows. Following HRP,Qrio, or Dr. robot? principles.

4: using NimH 48 volt or Lithium ion batteries. (depending on servos/actuators,etc).

Pretty bargled on how to and what to use for my Ai software.

Yes, those are great sources! I already have an Alicebot through "pandorabots.com", that i have been training for a few years now, you can talk w/ her about anything, and she is pretty amazing, especially compared to all the other bots i have chatted with. you can google: Brexxa-1. She is probably one of the only few really intelligent ones out there yet.
i was thinking of using E-Speaking along with pandorabots(alicebots).

Nice good choice! I check out brexxa-1 also thanks for the input
