I thought this might be interesting for anyone having an interest in evolving an electronic brain.

Do you really think information that is 26 years old in a field that is as fast changing as this has a remote chance of being relevant now?
I have noticed that you often quote very old references. In my experience, anything in the field of computers that is 2 years old or older is out of date.
You might disagree, but this is my experience after 64 years of computer involvement.
Arduino says and I agree, in general, the const keyword is preferred for defining constants and should be used instead of #define

Hi Casey,
Thanks for pointing out your post to me. I’m not sure that I’d call my interest in evolving robot control systems the same as evolving a robot ‘brain’, but I did give it a quick read. Most of this kind of stuff seems like pop science to me so I tend to speed read it hoping to find some nugget of interest. What did you think of the article?

Clearly not a history buff 🙂
I find it interesting to see how ideas have evolved and been built on over time.
Isn't the source being used by @thrandell also a bit "old"?
Automatic Creation of an Autonomous Agent: Genetic Evolution of a Neural-Network Driven Robot (1994), Floreano, D., Mondada, F.
The concepts haven't changed over time they have simply been added to. I have found some of the earlier books explained those concepts more clearly to a simple person like myself compared with some of the more trendy up to date and complex literature. I am glad was able to learn about electronics and programming back in the simpler older days.

I guess I have a different background. I followed this sort of stuff for a long time.
