A Course of Study in BEAM Robotics?
A good course of study to those just beginning in BEAM robotics might be: [all along you should be collecting and searching for tek junk] • build one (or both) from the SunEater series with SunEater II first, followed by SunEater I. Please follow the specifications • build a solar roller, or some solar engine-based gizmo • build a photovore – study phototropisms involved and their interesting behaviors, • read Tilden’s patent, Living Machines and other on-line documents • construct a microcore circuit (a four-neuron nervous network) and then • onto the construction of a microcore walker. • construct a BiCore • study the phototropisms involved in nervous networks, such as the suspended BiCore • start hooking up nervous networks into patterns found in nature (such as Cockroach chewing controllers) Of course, this is only my opinion, but it begins with the simple and moves to increasingly complex designs. In all, start simple and work your way up. Since practice makes (*almost*) perfect,
