Hey all,
This might be asking a lot, but I'm in need of some more (I guess, "meatier" chunks of) information regarding a project from Reading University on a Rat Brain controlled robot. (Professor Kevin Warwick talks about it a lot)
The information I've been able to find seem to be grouped around the 14th of August 2008. Surely there's something more recent on this project..?
Basically it's a robot that has ultrasonic sensors to detects walls etc, which communicates to 300,000+ cultured rat neurons via Bluetooth.
The neurons/brain makes all the "decisions" for the robot.
These are the links I've managed to find thus far:

And
youtube.com/watch?v=1QPiF4-iu6g - isn't the same robot, but is created by the same guy (Professor Kevin Warwick)
http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/Science-Fiction-News.asp?NewsNum=2352 - About the robot in the link above.
http://robotics.usc.edu/~maja/publications/sab90-2.pdf - Not about a specific robot, and not from Reading University. Talks about navigation & building cognitive mapping.
All of them (first grouping of links) give very similar information, but with a tiny bit more here & there.
I was just wondering if anyone knew of any other links/resources, or even any specifics from this project.
Before anyone says "This sounds like homework
"
Yes, it is. Which is why I've supplied everything I've managed to find so far, to prove I'm
not just looking for a "free ride" type deal
Much thanks in advance,

Note: I removed the
