ATR ' s Arti cial Brain Project : CAM - Brain Machine ( CBM
نویسندگان
چکیده
| This paper presents some ongoing issues concerning ATR's Artiicial Brain (CAM-Brain) Project. The CAM-Brain Project evolves 3D cellular automata (CA) based neural networks directly in FPGA electronics at electronic speeds in special hardware called a CAM-Brain Machine (CBM). The CBM updates the CA cells at a rate of 150 Billion a second, and can perform a full run of a genetic algorithm (GA) in about 1 second. 32K of these evolved circuits (modules) are then assembled (in a large RAM space updated in real-time by the CBM) into humanly deened architectures to make an artiicial brain to control a robot kitten ("Robokoneko"). The paper presents and discusses the latest design decisions for the CBM and the kitten robot, and maps out future plans aimed at having an artiicial-brain-controlled robot kitten playing in the ATR labs by early 2001. A world wide, many membered, internet-videophone and electronic pen based, brain-architectural design and brainstorming group will be essential for distributing the design and evolution of the 32K modules. Designing and building an artiicial brain within the next three years will be a major conceptual and managerial challenge.

This paper presents some simpliications to our recently introduced \CoDi-model", which we use to evolve Cellular Automata based neural network modules for ATR's artiicial brain project \CAM-Brain" 11]. The great advantage of CAs as a modeling medium, is their paral-lelism, which permits neural system simulation hardware based on CoDi to be scaled up without loss of speed. Simulation speed is cr...
