Prototype work done during 2007-2008 involved using an OpenCog variant called the Open- PetBrain to control virtual dogs in a virtual world (see Figure 6.6 for a screenshot of an OpenPetBrain-controlled virtual d

level of capability will be achievable by simply interposing DeS- TIN (or some other system in its place) as a perception /action “black box” between OpenCog and a robot. Some preliminary experiments in this direction have already been carried out, con- necting the OpenPetBrain to a Nao robot using simpler
