Grey Walter's tortoises

Uploaded on Aug 20, 2008

Dr. Grey Walter was a neurologist, robotics pioneer, and a bit of a mad scientist. Living in Bristol, England in 1949, without the aid of modern day computer processors, he built reactive, autonomous robots that could wander about and avoid obstacles. Each robot had two simulated neurons, sufficient for them to display complex behavior. Significantly, Walter's tortoises represent the first real world demonstration of artificial life.

The "Tortoise" was built by William Grey Walter in 1948 and used sensors for light and movement to form a simple nervous system.

A video about Grey Walter's robot tortoises (called Machina Speculatrix), an early version of an Artificial Intelligence that displays life-like behavior.
I wanted to share this amazing piece of A.I. history with you.
