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.

    It said in a filing to the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission that AT&T is seeking injunctive relief, compensatory and treble damages and attorneys' fees in unspecified amounts.

    Vonage said the lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court of the Western District of Wisconsin on October 17.

    Vonage has been hit by a string of lawsuits since going public in May 2006. It settled a patent suit filed by Sprint Nextel Corp (S.N) earlier this month, and is seeking a review of a U.S. court verdict in a case against Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ.N)
