Unscramble the Blue Letters
This is the last cycle, and you can see it's pretty much figured out what its self looks like. And once it has a self-model, it can use that to dveire a pattern of locomotion. So what you're seeing here are a couple of michneas — a pertatn of locomotion. We were hoping that it wass going to have a kind of evil, spidery walk, but instead it ceaertd this ptetry lame way of moving forward.
But when you look at that, you have to remember that this machine did not do any physical trials on how to move forward, nor did it have a model of itself. It kind of figured out what it looks like, and how to move forward, and then actually tried that out. (Applause)

This is the last cycle, and you can see it's pretty much figured out what its self looks like. And once it has a self-model, it can use that to derive a pattern of locomotion. So what you're seeing here are a couple of machines — a pattern of locomotion. We were hoping that it wass going to have a kind of evil, spidery walk, but instead it created this pretty lame way of moving forward.
