Thank you, @MarwaEldiwiny. You did a wonderful job distilling a five-year journey into a short conversation. I am delighted that these ideas are reaching a wider audience and provoking discussion about ghostly nature of intelligence.

Early readers are taking Ghost Circuits in directions I had hoped for but could never predict, from systems thinking to philosophy to embodied intelligence. Grateful to see it reaching readers in 10 countries already. #GhostCircuits #EmbodiedIntelligence #Robotics

Signed the first copy. Felt so good to see a young person excited about going beyond the brain to understand intelligence as an embodied process. #Design #Innovation #GhostCircuits

I’m releasing Ghost Circuits book after more than fifteen years of research about how intelligence really emerges from movement and interaction. It invites you to rethink #intelligence. Now the Kindle version is available for pre-ordering: amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GZHZBTSM

It was a very interesting panel discussion on Soft Robotics for Space at #ICRA2025 with Cecilia Laschi, Allison Okamura, Jonathan Rogers, and Neal Lii. The consensus was to focus on structural autonomy to respond to complex contexts than a material softness. #NASA #JPL #ESA #ISRO

Shooting capsules of compressed tiny ice pallets would give us longer range to fight wildfires than squirting water from hoses which is designed for more short range firefighting. Just a thought this morning and a rough hand sketch for any subject experts to take.

Yesterday's testing went well. Happy to see when ideas practically work.

Today @JayaramKaushik gave a fantastic talk titled "Shape morphing insect-scale origami robots for locomotion in cluttered terrain". Check out the cool work in his lab such as the Compliant Legged Autonomous Robotic Insect (CLARI): piped.video/watch?v=5aoLZ3aU…

Very proud of this work that shows how physical systems can be designed to passively respond to certain environmental features in a meaningful way. One can call it embodied intelligence.
One of the projects I worked on @ImperialDyson / @thrishlab is getting published! We designed a print-in-place compliant wheel that passively transforms when encountering obstacles. Video with more details: piped.video/oZbZZlDDEnc?si=CxhQ… Early access paper: ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract…

This month, I had the best out of my sabbatical. Had the opportunity to visit several places, give talks, discuss what we can do together in future, and of course have a lot of fun. Wrote a small blog peice about some memories: thrishantha.blogspot.com/202…
