An Arabic translation of the Godspeed Questionnaire Series is now available thanks to the contribution of Micheline Ziadee. I hope that this will help to increase the HRI research in Arabic speaking countries.

I am happy to announce that three new books are now available. First to mention is The 2012 LEGO Minifigure Catalog. On its 170 pages it contains more than 500 minifigures that were released in 2012. I have even been able to include photographs for the ultra rare Super Heroes ComicCon and Toyfair Minifigures (thanks Dan, Greg & Huw!).
Second, I updated The 2011 LEGO Minifigure Catalog. In this second edition, many corrections and addititions have been incorporated. The book has now 146 pages and also uses the new layout introduced in the 2012 catalog.
Last, I would like to mention the second edition of The Star Wars LEGO Minifigure Catalog. This second edition includes all the 2012 Star Wars Minifigures and I am proud to have a photograph for every minifigure. The book also contains a new name index.
All books are available immediately on CreateSpace and they will all soon show up on Amazon.com. I hope that you enjoy the books and I would like to thank everybody that helped creating them.

Radio NPR reports on my robot research
Alix Spiegel from National Public Radio (NPR) in the US reports today on our work on human-robot interaction. She reflected on our study on switching off a robot. It has been an honor to be in the same show as Professor Clifford Nass (Stanford University). Listen to the whole feature:
Mac & LEGO
Chris McVeigh combined two of my favorite things: a Cubic Mac (oh lets assume it is an SE30) and LEGO. What a great model!
