W hat is Mecha General Intelligence (MGI) ? The easiest answer is the ability to navigate through any environment or a system that is domain agnostic. As I have stated often, the reason we have a nervous system is to be able to move. This has been echoed by many others who have also understood how motor function is the primary function of animals. Behavior Science 101 teaches us that all animals have four basic functions, also called the 4 Fs, which are Feeding, Fleeing, Fighting and Mating. To perform anyone of the 4 Fs, an animal must move and must move no matter what the environmental conditions. We find these basic functions in the worm like C. elgans all the way up the evolutionary scale to homo sapiens. Having emulated lower animal nervous systems and applied to robotics, I have seen firsthand that these behaviors are displayed within a robot that is truly emulating an animal’s nervous system. I have used Connectomics/Synaptomics to perform these emulations with great suc...
