[extropy-chat] Evolving Lego Mindstorms

[Jacob Madden]

If you find that interesting, you might also want to look into an old
but interesting thought experiment book: "Vehicles: Experiments in
Synthetic Psychology" by Valentino Braitenberg. He poses simple robot
designs which result in what can be perceived as emotional behavior.
Search google for countless simulations.
