I've been saying this for the past 12 years. BUT wait to you see what I do with the Drosophila nervous system!

Playing with my firefighting robotic concepts. Using the animal nervous system emulations I've created, will give us true AGI/General Intelligence and allow the robot to make decisions/changes on the fly (no pun intended).

Working on this concept I had eons ago using the C elegans nervous system while waiting on the Drosophila VNC data.

Using the Zebra fish connectome, we could make this much more a reality: Scientists say swarms of robotic fish could soon make traditional underwater research vehicles obsolete. hakaimagazine.com/news/get-rea... via

Just put up a video capture of the entire Drosophila nervous system emulation: youtu.be/Ynwfs_6vvOE?...

This method shows the ability to achieve SWaP which is crucial to real world AGI development.
Drosophila Functional Group Emulation
This is a video showing the entire Drosophila nervous system running on a single laptop. The Nervous system is broken into functional groups (e.g. the Centra...

Using current AI techniques, here is the next rover that is capable of limited generalized intelligence. The semis are the computers needed to make it work.

Reading "A leaky integrate-and-fire computational model based on the connectome of the entire adult Drosophila brain", it states "a single neuron may be connected to hundreds of downstream neurons". Pictures tell that story:

It amazes me that no one talks about SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) in the form of the smaller, the better. Altman wants to build a mega chip factory for what end? We cannot create robots that can function in unexplored environs if they have to drag semi truck data centers with them for intelligence!

Just read “Deep Learning is Rubbish” — Karl Friston & Yann LeCun Face Off at Davos 2024 World Economic Forum and although I am definitely in the Friston camp by virtual of my own research, I don't get why more people aren't seeing the need for AI/AGI systems to run on SWaP (Size, Weight and Power)?

I tested the Drosophila Central Complex on a Raspberry Pi 5 and it worked great! It might be a little slower than my Intel i7 laptops but the fact that it works at all is amazing and exciting. Now if I could get more, I could easily do a full Drosophila emulation on just a few RPi 5s. SWaP!

I succeeded in emulating the entire Drosophila nervous system (127K neurons) on a single laptop! This shows we can emulate nervous systems into Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) systems using the right techniques. Next is to try on my new RPi 5/8 GB, then apply to robotics.
