Wired intelligence
Encyclopedia
The term wired intelligence refers to a robot
that has no programmed microprocessor
. Instead, the robot has a particular connection of wires and analog electronics between its sensors and motors that gives it seemingly intelligent actions. These actions can be complex enough to create a quadruped robot that seeks out the brightest light source.
