An old school robot has been brought back to life to inspire a new generation. The robot is known as "Tortoise" and was built by William Grey Walter back in 1948 using sensors for light and movement to form a simple nervous system.
One of the robots was modified and had added to its simple single-celled "brain" first one, then two conditional reflex circuits in which they could be taught simple behaviours.
Watch the video below to see how the robot navigates through a room, with objects, to find the light and move around.
