 “A Hybrid Neuromorphic/AI Socially Interactive Robotic Sentry” is an ongoing
project that was proposed by Goodman Brain Computation Lab, University of Nevada,
Reno. The goal of this project is to build neuromorphic systems that could make decision
in real-time based on brain physiology. The entire system will include the following
components. First, NCS, running on a Remote Beowulf Cluster, is the software that
provides the computation power to run the cortical simulation. Secondly, AIBO, robotic
dog provided by Sony. Third, a laptop with a wireless adapter, which contains the AI
components and models brainstem functionality. We call this last component Brainstem.
This thesis will talk about the development of the software for Brainstem.
