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.

    HELSINKI (Reuters) - Nokia (NOK1V.HE) has reached high volumes in single-chip mobile phone sales, the company's head was quoted in a newspaper as saying on Friday.

    Single-chip technology is used to make ultra-low-cost phones, aimed at developing markets.

    "We now have several single-chip phones in the market. It is one of the key factors in our cost competitiveness in cheaper phones," Nokia Chief Executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo told Finnish daily Helsingin Sanomat.

    "We are already talking about volumes of tens of millions."

    In May, chipmaker Infineon (IFXGn.DE) said a project to supply Nokia with single chips for its ultra-low-cost phones had been delayed.

    But Nokia has said its development of the phones is on target, as it has multiple suppliers for the project, including Texas Instruments (TXN.N).
