Well just walk in one day and start talking to people.  I'm sure the
folks at these various labs would be more than willing to discuss their
work, and could no doubt point you to other projects going on nearby.
In particular, you might want to check out the Humanoid project at the
AI Lab -- it is in part an attempt at integrating existing technologies,
as you suggested.
