I follow (more or less) Mark Tilden's work for about 6 years already. What you probably do not
realize is that he pretty much solved the problem
of modeling insects (insects are automata unlike mammals). In this respect all these LEGO robots (or any other CPU/code based robots) do not even remotely approach the the ingeniously (means - simply) designed creaters. I recommend everybody
to pay attention to this invention, this is the only known to me example of getting inside the complex system of brain with not yet recognized
consequences for the neurotechnology.
