In a dull moment just now, natural curiosity got the better of healthy
scepticism and I actually went and downloaded these things (you'll
need to find unzip and xflick from somewhere to view them on a UNIX
workstation). For a while there I thought perhaps Joseph was well on
the way to solving all of robotics and AI in a single stroke, but
having seen the animations I think I can breathe easy again...
