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.

    The agreement will allow MySpaceTV users to subscribe to a BBC Worldwide channel, then view and share clips from current and archived content. Clips will be available to MySpaceTV users globally.

    Other BBC programs that will be featured include "Robin Hood," "Torchwood," "The Catherine Tate Show," "Red Dwarf" and "The Mighty Boosh."

    Jeff Berman, the newly appointed executive vice president of marketing and content of MySpace, said the deal involved advertising revenue sharing, but declined to disclose specific details.

    MySpace is owned by media giant News Corp, which also operates the Fox TV network, and has been pushing to add more video content.

    The MySpaceTV feature launched in June 2007. Among other content, MySpaceTV features "Roommates," "LonelyGirl15," and "Prom Queen."
