@elonmusk Beyond bigger models, the next frontier is intelligence that emerges through physical interaction. Mountain goat hooves, human fingernails, even a dead fish drifting upstream hold clues. That idea has shaped much of my robotics work, and inspired Ghost Circuits.
Early readers are taking Ghost Circuits in directions I had hoped for but could never predict, from systems thinking to philosophy to embodied intelligence.
Grateful to see it reaching readers in 10 countries already.

Signed the first copy. Felt so good to see a young person excited about going beyond the brain to understand intelligence as an embodied process.

I’m releasing Ghost Circuits book after more than fifteen years of research about how intelligence really emerges from movement and interaction. It invites you to rethink #intelligence. Now the Kindle version is available for pre-ordering: https://t.co/TBvNWbknek

@emmamurphyitv Oh, so sad. I think it was Einstein who said that he knows about two infinite things. One is universe and the other is human stupidity. He was not very sure about the former. I think this photo shows human hatred is a third competitor. The sane world should act fast.
Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn't take the bait when The View's Joy Behar asks him about the ICE raids in California:
"I'm so, so happy to see first-hand that this IS the greatest country in the world and it IS the land of opportunity...
...When you come to America, you're a guest. And you have to behave like a guest...You have a responsibility as an immigrant to give back to America."
It was a very interesting panel discussion on Soft Robotics for Space at #ICRA2025 with Cecilia Laschi, Allison Okamura, Jonathan Rogers, and Neal Lii. The consensus was to focus on structural autonomy to respond to complex contexts than a material softness. #NASA#JPL#ESA#ISRO
🚀 Something exciting is coming...
Imperial College London is delighted to announce the launch of its inaugural Robotics Summer School taking place from 21st – 25th July!
Join this opportunity to dive into the world of robotics together with all of our very best roboticists. With state-of-the-art equipment and classrooms, you’ll learn the fundamental and specialised concepts of robotics, with hands-on learning and group work.
Immerse yourself in a week-long group project embedded within one of our cutting-edge laboratories—choose from the Hamlyn Centre, our flagship Aerial Arena, Dyson Robotics Lab, Multi-limb Virtual Environment (aka Dr. Octopus 🐙) and more!
📆 21st – 25th July 2025
📍Imperial College London, South Kensington & White City Campuses
Applications close on the 25th April 2025
Don’t miss your chance to explore the future of robotics with Imperial’s top roboticists at the heart of the world’s best student city.

A mountain goat hoof have mechanical intelligence to autonomously respond to slippage. Our situated heuristics based design innovation approach could evolve the morphological features that provide this autonomous capability https://t.co/j527zcBey5
Shooting capsules of compressed tiny ice pallets would give us longer range to fight wildfires than squirting water from hoses which is designed for more short range firefighting.
Just a thought this morning and a rough hand sketch for any subject experts to take.
This is the Airbnb place I stayed during my visit to Caltech and JPL. The host was very nice and the place was located in a beautiful mountain range in Eaton. Please help if possible:
