SUMMARY:School Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Dr Steve Battle: Ashby's Mobile Homeostat\n\nIn his landmark book, Design for a Brain, William Ross Ashby speculates\n\nabout the possibility of creating a mobile homeostat "with its critical\n\nstates set so that it seeks situations of high illumination." This talk\n\nexplores an embedding of Ashby's homeostat within a simulated robot and\n\nenvironment, exploring the question as to whether the classic homeostat\n\narchitecture is able to adapt to this environment. Remaining faithful to\n\nthe physical design of Ashby's device, this simulation enables us to\n\npractically demonstrate Ashby's proposition that homeostasis can be\n\nachieved through ultrastability.\n\nhttps://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/research/seminars/abstract.php?id=363
