Lego robot controlled by a worm’s mind The Open Worm Project aims to recreate the behavior of the common roundworm in a machine.

In a breakthrough for artificial intelligence research, a digital clone of the mind of a roundworm (C. Elegans) has been uploaded into a robotic body made from LEGO, as part of the Open Worm Project.

The robot was given parts to correspond to the worm’s body parts and neural networks. The nose neurons of the worm are replaced by a sonar sensor and motors on either side of the robot replace ...

In a recent breakthrough, their software was independently controlling a small Lego robot, making it behave like the worm, approaching and then moving away from walls and obstacles and replicating ...

Researchers find model of worm brain acts just like a worm would, if it was a robot made of Lego.

With the worm's nose neurons replaced by a sonar sensor and the motor neurons running down both sides of the worm replicated on the left and right motors of the Lego bot, the robot could emulate ...

The robot behaves much like a real worm would, given similar sensory stimulation—tripping the nose sensor halts forward progress, touching the front and rear sensors makes the robot move forward and ...

The robotics expert is now using a Raspberry Pi and a GoPiGo (a robot built to interact with Raspberry Pi) to test his worm-brain software again.

With the worm's nose neurons replaced by a sonar sensor and the motor neurons running down both sides of the worm replicated on the left and right motors of the Lego bot, the robot could emulate ...
