The website of CRONOS PROJECT covers Owen Holland's and Tom Troscianko's EPSRC Adventure fund project to build a conscious robot (GR/S47946/01). This three year project is taking place at the University of Essex and the University of Bristol and will finish in April 2007.

The main components of this project are a hardware robot called CRONOS, a virtual copy of this robot known as SIMNOS, a visual system closely based on the human brain, the SpikeStream neural simulator, and systematic methods for identifying and describing the conscious states of the system.
