@inq Although direct, hard-coded logic can do obstacle avoidance, I'm coming to a learning level where I see AI can do that more efficiently with le...

@thrandell One thought is you might have a LED on the robot's head and use a video camera to record its path. It is possible interesting path patte...

@thrandell My question is: Are you able to provide the detail and results of your experiments?I think @inq is a little bit too optimistic about wha...

@inq I have found these little soccer bots enchanting to watch with the awkward movements like little todlers who are still learning to walk proper...

@inq We're certainly not talking about the same thing here. I think we are. The link was about the coding of hill climbing algorithms, how co...

@inq All a bit heavy duty and time consuming for me :) I guess you have been looking at how others have applied GA to their robots. This uses r...

@inq Now... if you're using map the same way I mean in mapping a house/building... I see that as being totally after it has done all the learning...

@inq I mentioned doing that in @thrandell thread: Oops I missed that, sorry.Your reasoning for not manually controlling the robot are sound. Th...

@inq BP requires you to give it the answer during the training of the engine. This is next to impossible for a robot reading say 20 sensors but it ...

@davee An athlete may be said to have physical intelligence in that they select moves that work to achieve some goal outcome.Some time ago there wa...

@davee Is there a more appropriate term for machines that learn by observation or other indirect means? Learning by observation (or experience)...

@mr-meeseeks I haven't done much on this subject for some time. What I would suggest is you might look at the free OpenCV or even a simpler product...
