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.

    "We don't expect to have any impact from Infineon's announcement," Nokia spokesman Kari Tuutti said. "As communicated earlier, we have multiple suppliers for single chip solutions."

    Nokia uses also single-chip products from Texas Instruments (TXN.N).
