There are a variety of natural language robots, many of which have inspired the EllaZ System effort. Here are a number of informative links to aid your exploration:

The BotSpot is a good place to start for exploring the world of natural language and other types of robots. Have some fun checking out this website:

In 2001 Ella received an excellent 4 out of 5 rating from Cybelle at agentland . . . we're working on a "5." This is a website that features a wide variety of intelligent agents. There are reviews such as for the "rather charming" Ella and opportunities to leave comments about many agents.

A unique resource for natural language robot information is CyberMecha . This is the web site of Robby Garner who won the Loebner Prize Contest in 1998 and 1999. You will find he has an informative mailing list for developers and those with a keen interest in robots. He is also developing the Turing Hub for connecting human/robot, robot/robot, and human/human for conversation. No one can be sure who they are talking to!
