Language Parsing Go to http://alicebot.org/and talk to the robot. Ask it "How many more legs does a dog have than a man?" and see how smart it is. A two-time winner of the annual Loebner Prize, Alice is one of the brightest artificial minds out there. HAHA! 'nuff said.
Bipedal Locomotion It's ridiculous. We're in the year 2002 now and we still don't have walking robots. Intuitively, I think walking is just a continuous process of falling, except that you break the fall with each advancing step. If you can build a self-balancing robot (i.e. inverse pendulum), walking should just be a matter of keeping it upright after an initial push.

I think Honda and MIT are going the wrong way with their research. They make walking seem so meticulously calculated.

Neural Nets I want to use this in my Chat-Bot somehow. Ideas anyone?
Physics Simulation I would do this just for fun..
