Building Communities of Smart Things Takes Nerves
summary
Claims a working Elixir-based cognitive stack called Marvin framework that runs on EV3 via Nerves, linking two rovers and one hub over p2p distributed Elixir and REST/Phoenix. Concrete agents — detectors, percepts, motivators, behaviors, actuators — produce emergent sharing and panic behaviors; demo shows food-stealing and calming by the hub. Fits on a 64MB brick with ~15MB free RAM, 30s compile/build/burn cycle, uses simple structs and supervised processes, and the implementation visibly works.
