The robots, created by Angelo Cangelosi and colleagues at Plymouth University, UK, currently exist only as computer simulations. But the researchers say their novel method of communication could someday help real-life robots cooperate when faced with a new challenge. They could also help linguists understand how human languages develop, they say. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://email.newscientist.com/cgi-bin1/DM/y/nscM0MjPfT0Ste0DJLt0EP " target="blank">email.newscientist.com/cgi-bin1/DM/y/nscM0MjPfT0Ste0DJLt0EP </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
