• Questsin, uses Query by Example and features a dictionary, knowledge base, repository, reference, and thesaurus.
• Siri, a voice-based artificial intelligence program built into the IPhone 4s.
• SNePS, a simultaneously a logic-based, frame-based, and network-based knowledge representation, reasoning, and acting system.
• Watson, a question answering system being developed by IBM capable of playing the Jeopardy! gameshow.

Motion and manipulation

• Cog, a robot developed by MIT to study theories of cognitive science and artificial intelligence, now discontinued.
• Grand Challenge 5 – Architecture of Brain and Mind, a UK attempt to understand and model natural intelligence at various levels of abstraction, demonstrating results in a succession of increasingly sophisticated working robots.

Natural language processing
