It’s alive…. IT’S ALIVE!!! Braitenberg vehicles!
summary
Claims that humanlike behavior needs only a couple of sensors and motors not trillions of parameters are demonstrated with a custom Braitenberg Vehicles simulator built with Harvey Mudd collaborators it runs instances of Vehicle 1–4 and reproduces specific behaviors: aggressive, coward, love, explorer connections produce chasing fleeing or settling patterns differentiable functions give “instincts” non differentiable ones give “will” simulator runs live, visuals match the paper and the examples work.
