I'm working on some serious AI research right now, using Squeak (of course). My idea of the brain (in terms of how we model it) is a virtual machine, with very little Smalltalk code, and huge amounts of data that gets stored and indexed. You can't model things like humor and emotions and such in code - it gets modeled in data.
Of course, as LISP often shows, or Squeak's VM generation system, the line between code and data can often get blurry. :-)

Interesting project. I'll be curious over time how you see Squeak needing to change or expand to better support your AI and robotics related goals.
