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.

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.

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, ...

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 the same way that terrestrial life evolved from ocean swimmers to land walkers, soft robots are progressing, too, thanks ...

(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 ...
