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 manage for volume or market share for the sake of market share. We manage for market share that's sustainably profitable," Rick Simonson said.

    "We'll continue to make sure that we focus for maximizing the total profits, the total cash flow."

    The world's biggest cellphone maker earlier reported third-quarter earnings per share of 0.29 euros, down from 0.40 euros a year ago and missing the average forecast of 0.31 euros in a Reuters poll of 37 analysts.
