The Singularity

Robots are cool as fuck and since they will be masters of the universe  (hopefully?) in the not too distant future, I figure they deserve some recognition. They exist in a wide variety of materials, and employ an endless number of functions and capabilities.  This guy even made one with a delicious brain. His robot was born after spreading rat neurons onto an array of electrodes, which began to form connections with one another. He continued to feed the brain a magical liquid full of nutrients and minerals (pbr’s prolly), and once the neurons established a network sufficiently capable of responding to electrical inputs from the electrode array, he connected the newly formed brain to a simple robot body consisting of two wheels and a sonar sensor. Initially the robot was way dumb, but with practice it improved the connections between the active neurons and was wheelin’ around in no time.
