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 companies did not disclose terms of the agreement.

    Privately held EMI Music, the world's fourth largest recorded music company, has withdrawn as a party to the complaint filed by major record companies against XM in May 2006.

    In December 2007 major record companies Universal Music Group, owned by Vivendi, and Warner Music Group Corp and in February 2008 Sony BMG Music Entertainment reached similar agreements with XM. Sony BMG is a joint venture of Sony Corp and Bertelsmann AG.
