London, Oct 30 : The 100-million-dollar Stanford Twenty20 Super Series, which is being described as the biggest deal in English cricket''s history, has reportedly been thrown into doubt after the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced a review (of the series) as concerns grow over their five-year agreement with Sir Allen Stanford, the financer.

It has led to a series of damaging blows for the ECB, with one influential county chairman calling for the resignation of the board''s management, reported The Telegraph.

London, Oct 30 : In the pursuit to create a more ‘life-like’ robot, researchers have created a realistic robot head that can mimic human facial expressions, thus making communication more human-like.

Robotics engineers at the University of Bristol, UK, actually made a copycat robotic head, called Jules, which can mimic the facial expressions and lip movements of a human being.

Jules is an animatronic head produced by US roboticist David Hanson, New Scientist reports.

Honson builds uniquely expressive, disembodied heads with flexible rubber skin that is moved by 34 servo motors.

A video camera picks human face movements, and then maps them onto the tiny electronic motors in Jules'' skin.
