This has quite a few broken links and such, but there is some cool stuff on here.

I first had the vision to build a robot while working as an engineer on the
old Mini Coopers in the late 1960s. There were no real robots at the time of
course, so it was purely science-fiction. But I always believed a robot
would be the most natural complement to the automobile – a full biped,
intelligent version having great strength, dexterity and a library of
mechanical knowledge. I imagined a robot with the ability to repair
vehicles, direct traffic and watch over high-accident crossroads to preempt
accidents.
