| Abstract | This article presents the key assumptions and current status of the ATR Artificial Brain Project being undertaken to create Volitron, a device equipped with circuitry that enables the emergence of thought. Such thought would be recognized from Volitron's specific communication behaviors. The project consists of three complementary themes: psychodynamic architecture, brain-specific evolvable hardware, and the management of brain-building. The psychodynamic architecture is designed to develop automatically, driven by “pleasure” coming from discharges of tension gathered in special tension-accumulating devices. Tension-discharging patterns come first of all from the robot's interactions with its care giver/provider. For the dedicated hardware, we developed qcellular-automata (qCA), in which groups of uniform logic primitives (q-cells) serve as spike-train-processing units, as well as pulsed para-neural networks (PPNN) that can be evolved, using fuzzified signals and a genetic algorithm combined with hill climbing, and converted into qCA. The psychodynamic ideas were tested using three robots: Neko, equipped with a pleasure-driven associator, Miao, equipped with MemeStorms (a special working memory in which conflicting ideas fight for access to the long-term memory and actuators), and Miao+, whose brain is equipped with a growing neural network. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
