William Grey Walter (1910–1977) was a renowned British neuroscientist, robotician, and cyberneticist, best known for his pioneering work in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence. He created some of the earliest autonomous robots, called "tortoises," which were simple machines designed to exhibit behavior that mimicked biological responses. Walter's work explored the intersection of biology, psychology, and technology, particularly in understanding how simple computational systems could mimic complex behaviors in living organisms.
