In case you haven’t seen yet, the videos demonstrating SynthNet in action have been posted to YouTube! In the first clip, I demonstrate growing a brain from virtual DNA, hooking into my Lego robotic buddy Bit, and then conditioning Bit to associate hearing a tone with getting his touch sensor pressed. The demonstration is a recreation of classic fear conditioning experiments.
In the second clip, I give an explanation of how SynthNet functions, how the demonstration above was setup, and the future of the project.
