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.

When looking at the most complex machine known to man, the brain, in the end, it’s nothing more than a collection of electrical signals. This means that, if we can accurately catalog those signals, ...

Scientists have created a robot that "thinks" and acts like a worm after inserting software modeled on the neural connections in a worm's brain inside a Lego robot. WSJ's Monika Auger reports.

There are currently several ongoing initiatives that aim to map the synapse connections in the human brain, operating under the assumption that cataloging those signals could allow one to emulate the ...

In October, a student presented a robotic hand made entirely from LEGOs at the 2025 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in Hangzhou, China. But Jared Lepora isn’t in ...

Credit – MIT News / Lordos et al. Building with LEGOs is a favored pastime for many small children and adults. But, as The LEGO Movie points out, they constitute “a highly sophisticated interlocking ...

(CNN) — A humble roundworm is leading the race in artificial intelligence, showing that it may be possible one day to upload our brains to a computer. Called the Open Worm Project, the research brings ...
