Working on code to enable robots to touch and eat food. Need to re-enable code to manually control a robot to get that robot to touch an object to trigger a collision.

Got the manual control working again. Now to trigger a collision.

For some reason, I can sometimes pass through a wall. Can't fix that right now. Will add some code to re-position robots that fall off the world.

Need to look up ram drives to speed up compiling time. The next few actions are removing my hard coding of objects in the physics and graphics code, adding a piece of food, and triggering an event when robots touch food.

Hi Binh,
ReplyDeleteI was led to these ideas by courses that I took during undergrad. Not CS courses -- they were surprisingly off the mark, in my opinion -- but rather psych and cog sci courses. The theories some of my professors proposed fell apart at the technical level, but I think they were on the mark about how the brain works.
This is a personal project for me, although I hope it will turn into something bigger. I am in law school so I do not have tons of free time, but I will be taking a leave of absence next year in part to work on this.
Thanks for linking the video, and good job on your recent progress!
