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.

    ITI intends to be a minority partner in the proposed joint ventures with a 26 percent stake according to the bid proposals, the newspaper said.

    An Intel spokeswoman said the company did not respond to market speculation or rumors.

    The paper said Intel was interested in making the hardware and consumer premise equipment around WiMAX technology, which provides for wireless transmission of data up to 75 megabytes per second.

    Though interested parties have been asked to participate before January 29, 2010, the telecoms ministry is holding a pre-bid conference before selecting them, the paper said.

    Other global players that have showed interest include Huawei HWT.UL, Alcatel-Lucent (ALUA.PA), Samsung (005930.KS) and Hitachi (6501.T), the paper said.
