_________________________ _________________________ ___________________ Humanoid robots walk naturally
Walking is easy, forget all those motors, let the legs swing (mine are still walking, barely) I suppose that the problem of consciousness will be solved in the same way that the problem of Flocking was solved. By realising that there is no problem. Birds and fish "flock" by following a few simple local rules. There is no central plan. Rodney brooks hexapod robots have local intelligence at each limb. Consciousness will be seen as the result of a myriad of 'local' neural patterns see Edelmans 'drum' shaped neural clusters, and Marvin Minsky's 'Society of Mind'
