The inside story of the most intelligent robot in the world.
Steve Grand's first-hand account of the three years spent trying to build the most advanced artificial intelligence robot in the world.
Steve Grand is a self-taught scientist who has deliberately eschewed large public grants and laboratory affiliation so as to give himself the freedom required to put his revolutionary theories on artificial intelligence to the test. The result is Lucy, one of the most advanced research robots in existence, and it is Lucy's successes and failures which stand as indicators of the present state of robotics.
The compelling story of Lucy's creation, all done in Steve's own home, is a fascinating mixture of human perseverance and cutting edge scientific endeavour. The birth of Lucy has massive implications for us all.
