Six versions of ICub exist in laboratories across Europe, where scientists are painstakingly tweaking its electronic brain to make it capable of learning, just like a human child and hoping it will learn how to adapt its behaviour to changing circumstances, offering new insights into the development of human consciousness.

    In a statement, the company said the U.S. ITC staff recommended that Samsung, the world's No. 2 mobile handset maker, did not engage in unfair trade practices related to third-generation mobile technology.

    InterDigital has maintained that Samsung engaged in unfair practices by selling certain 3G handsets and components in the United States that infringe five of InterDigital's patents.

    Last week, InterDigital and Nokia (NOK1V.HE) agreed to drop patent cases in British courts against each other.

    Shares of InterDigital fell $6.15 to $19.11 in midday trade on Nasdaq. The stock had touched a low of $18.09 earlier.
