A LEGO NXT version of William Grey Walter's tortoise, possibly the world's first autonomous robot. Can you figure out how it works?
More information on this robot, including building and programming instructions, can be found in our upcoming book, From Bricks To Brains: The Embodied Cognitive Science of LEGO Robots.
Timelapse black-and-white photographs and quotes in white text originated from an exhibit entitled "Accomplishments of an artifact", discovered by Holland (2003). Although unsourced, the quotes were very likely penned by Grey Walter.
Music is drawn from ████████ ████████████, composed by █████ █████ and performed by ███ ████████. Non-redacted versions can be found on our website.
