A solution to these challenges is being sought by a new breed of scientist who turn to biology for answers. Another of Tilden's tiny bug-sized robots Mark Tilden knows robots. We're looking at simple, elegant solutions to guide emergent behavior. He also showed videos of some of his larger creations. He discussed the problems with conventional robotic design and the technology underlying Nervous Net-based Biomorphic robots.
Nervous nets are to neural nets what peripheral spinal systems are to the brain.
Tilden has concentrated on the development of Nv-based robot mechanisms with electronic approximations of biologic autonomic and somatic systems. Basically, nervous nets are a hardware-based system of electronics that do not rely on programmed code to converge on successful and adaptable walking gaits for robots.
