Robot passed awareness test
In his paper, the Comparative Study between Cognizant and aCognizant Consciousness (or in layman's term, the Scientific Definition of Consciousness), Joey Lawsin redefined the nature of consciousness based on his experiments on Biotronics and from the guiding principles behind the Caveman in the Box Trilogy. In the youTubes videos below, the definition and scopes of consciousness were illustrated through the process of comparison and elimination. In one of the videos, the biotronic passed a basic awareness test.
The prototype in the videos is made up of an Arduino Uno microcontroller, ultrasonic sensor HC-05 , an LED indicator, a piezo speaker, a microservo motor SG90 , a stepper motor 28BYJ-48, one power function, and LEGO's bricks and pieces. The prototype in the first video is mechanically automated (mechanization). In the second video, the prototype is technologically pre-programmed (automation). And in the third video, the biotronic is personally making decisions by itself via an embedded piece of code called I.M. (materialization).
By definition, Biotronics are creatures that look alive or with life. The word was coined in 1988 by Lawsin. The word "Bio" means life and "tronics" means smart electronics. These animals are collectively sometimes called the Silver Species. This new group of living organisms can see, smell, taste, hear, feel, think, breed, fly, swim, create, and become conscious. They die too.
In this video, the spider seems alive. But it is not. Its movements are carried by a simple automation mechanically animated via the physical restriction of the design.
In this video, the spider also looks alive. But it is not as well. Its actions are delivered by a series of instructions extensively coded and orchestrated by the author.
In this video, the spider was connected to various smart sensors that were manufactured or "predesigned" to do certain functions when switched on. The spider used logic to execute the data it receives through intelligent circuitry and algorithmic procedures. Although a small unit of codes, dubbed as the Inverse Matrix, was incorporated in its artificial brain, the spider was actually doing its own decision making as you can see in the video. The spider is in the state of awareness due to how it computes and perceives obstacles on its way by either walking forward or backward to and fro the hindrance. A simple test of awareness.
Now, could it be possible that the spider in all three videos is conscious and alive? Before you judge, please read my essays on What is Life? and The Scientific Definition of Consciousness.

These animals are collectively sometimes called the Silver Species. This new group of living organisms can see, smell, taste, hear, feel, think, breed, fly, swim, create, and become conscious. They die too.
The Biotronics prototype was first created using the Lawsin Linkage, a double cantilever truss system with connecting elements (links) that form triangular frames. The linkage was a structural mechanism that was developed to simulate the walking cadence of biotronics animals. The construction was designed with the following requirements:
1. It must carry out a walking cadence fluidly like an actual living animal's gait.
2. It can conquer any type of terrain obstacles from carpet floors to seabeds.
3. It can move in different directions with various range of actuated motion or R.O.A.M.
4. Its structure elements must be guided by nature's mathematics like geometry.
5. It can be integrated with the arduino platform for micro-consciousness programming.
Then, the project was put together by combining the various phases and sketches of the building process:
Phase 1: The Lawsin Linkage
Phase 2: The Led Indicator
Phase 3: The MicroServo
Phase 4: The Ultrasonic Sensor
Phase 5: The Piezo Speaker
Phase 6: The Stepper Motor
Phase 7: The Biotronic LegoWalker
And finally, the proof of concept was delivered into actual physical reality using the Arduino microcontroller and lego's gears and beams.
In the above videos, the Arduino microcontroller was used as the "brain"(neurotronics) and the lego's gears and beams as the "body"(homotronics) of the lego walker.1. It must carry out a walking cadence fluidly like an actual living animal's gait.
