While looking for some papers this afternoon, I surprisingly find a professor Hugo de Garis who is carrying out the first Artificial Brain project in China, more amazingly, he’s granted by Xiamen Univ. with 3 Million RMB to work on the project during 2008-2011, said more millions will be given if needed. Here’s a piece of his speech:
The guy’s trying to evolve a neural network on hardware, to implement a brain to control hundreds of behaviors of robots. But what I cannot understand yet is, is XMU insane or just has too much money getting rot? Does it have enough kids to work on such kind of project? Alright, anyway, it can be a good news for me…
