Try Mammouth AI now at http://mammouth.ai Sign up for Growbot: https://artoftheproblem.com/pages/growbot I called this project GrowBot...what's the simplest possible robot that can learn everything from scratch? Raspberry Pi Zero 2, two servos, a camera, an IMU, a battery, some 3D printed parts. I trained small neural networks in simulation so it could walk, stand and spin in a lifelike way. Then I handed control of the motors to a vision language model. It read its raw sensor data, wrote its own code, built profiles of the people it met, and dreamed between sessions to clean up what it had learned. It worked better than I expected, until it hit a wall. Which kept pointing back to the same question. How do you act smoothly when thinking is slow? That sent me into how nature solves the problem (the cerebellum), and it turned out to be exactly what the robotics field is converging on right now. I'm planning to make a super simple course soon as well as kits if you want.
