However, I've seen very little work on algorithmic construction of robots, which is a bit surprising given how mechanical these systems are. Anyone have a good resource on the algorithmic construction of robots / robotic humanoids? Thanks! ...

What makes people think that NNs have more computational power than existing models?

I've read in Wikipedia that neural-network functions defined on a field of arbitrary real/rational numbers (along with algorithmic schemas, and the speculative `transrecursive' models) have more computational power than the computers we use today. Of course it was a page of russian wikipedia (ru.wikipedia.org) and that may be not properl...
