Benny J Johnson, a young photographer who studies press and editorial photography in Falmouth, came to visit our lab and took some great pictures of the iCub humanoid robot.

Benny arrived last Thursday afternoon and brought lots of professional equipment with him, which he bought after winning a grant in a student competition. His plan was to take pictures of the iCub holding an apple to show the connection between nature and technology. 

After Ben got the image he was looking for, we started my multiple time scales recurrent neural network system and let the iCub manipulate a cube.
