Sorry about my slow response. I noticed that the first page in this topic is trashed so I’m going to re-post some stuff from that page. This is the...

These particular sensors have a 15 deg. field of view, so no you won’t get a 360 deg view. I don’t understand what you mean by combine the output of ...

I picked up a pair of these to try out and I think that they will be fine for this robot. Tom

What I’ve done so far was more of a “proof of concept” for me. My immediate plans are to put together a purpose built robot and not cannibalize one o...

I totally agree with this one (for what it's worth). The behavior-based approach to programming robots came from the work of Rodney Brooks at MIT. ...

@robotbuilder I found a type-o in the sensor normalization formula. It should read: max sensor range - sensor1 input = sensor1 reading max...

@robotbuilder What a great question! It might be pretty straight forward to implement an obstacle avoiding Braitenberg vehicle as a neural network ...

Interesting. Back propagation needs a training set, right? Maybe you could cook up something like a Braitenberg vehicle with a neural network tha...

I was wondering about the square root too, so let’s look at some examples. Phi = V (1 - sqrt(v)) (1 - i) given that the wheel rotational speed...

Is evolution fair? LOL At first blush I thought that an individual stuck in a corner would have an activation level of 1 (the highest), so the fitne...

I haven’t measured this robot’s top speed, but it’s probably in the 0.19 to 0.22 meters/second range, but that does not influence the time it takes to...

Yep

Well, my swarm robot has low power 6V gear motors and Pico MCUs that can run between 1.8V and 5.5V. Since these robots are intended to run in a ‘cont...

I don't know, I've got a ways to go yet. The IR sensors on my swarm bot were designed for a much larger arena and to send messages, not this short di...
