Have one of the computers run a 3d simulation of a body in a somewhat interesting environment that has windows pointing to cameras + screens (+mics +loudspeakers) in several public spots. It needs to have eyes connecting to nerves, ears doing a fourier analysis on sounds, the results going in to the network as pulses (do 50 fourier analyses on slightly phase shifted sound channels, coming from 2 points, like real ears do (real ears do about 20000 shifts each, but let's get real, even with a supercomputer)). Have the rest of the computers run a pulse-based neural network controlling that body, communicate the pulses over udp/the network and actually let it run for 2-3 months. Make sure that that body can see (and be seen and heard preferably, interaction would be great) from almost all locations in the environment. We know that in the very short term such a network should try to imitate whatever it sees. It should start moving and try to duplicate whatever it sees through the screens (it may take a while though). Verify that does indeed happen with a big, complex network (preferably with the same architecture : big, central nerve connecting to the whole body, with offshoots at it's end going nowhere, only used for processing). See if you can get it to interact with people, and generally see how far you can drive this.
