Jules

Jules

Jules, a humanoid robot from Hanson Robotics, resides at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory and is part of a project exploring the intersection of natural and artificial intelligences. Unlike typical robots, Jules is uniquely controlled by the electrical spiking activity of fungi, translating these organic signals into expressive facial movements. This innovative approach allows Jules to showcase the subtle, often overlooked intelligence of fungi, embodying it through lifelike expressions. This project, a collaboration with the Unconventional Computing Lab at the University of the West of England, highlights the potential of organic processes to inform and enhance robotic technologies. Jules represents a significant step forward in our understanding of bio-digital interfaces, demonstrating the possibilities of merging biological phenomena with robotic expressions in an engaging and accessible manner.
