Lucy the robot
Lucy is a project to build an extremely advanced artificial life form, not as an end in itself, but as a platform for research. The aim is to try to understand the fundamental operating principles of the mammalian brain. In particular we are interested in mental imagery and imagination: how is it that the neurons in our brains can build virtual worlds inside our head, and how do these enable us to act intelligently?
Create-a-Creature
Create-a-Creature is the working title of a very large scale educational virtual world. It will allow children to build their own creatures and learn about ecosystems, animal behaviour, evolution and the principles of complex systems. The project is a collaboration under the auspices of NESTA Futurelab.
Project X
Project X is a software application currently under development. We don't want to talk about it right now, but we've included it in the list so that you know we haven't forgotten that the point of all our research is to produce real products that people want to use.
