Hi Pei,
If I want to start to try some low-budget programmable robot (say, in the price range of Robosapien V2 and LEGO Mindstorms NXT), which one will you recommend? I won't have high expectation in performance, but will be interested in testing ideas on the coordination of perception, reasoning, learning, and action.
As you know, I am in favor of testing ideas on this sort of coordination in the context of a simulation world rather than physical robotics ... http://sourceforge.net/projects/agisim/ However, I also can see the value of experimenting with actual, real robots in the physical world. Toward the end of harmonizing these pursuits, I have considered creating an interface to the AGISim simulation world in the Pyro language http://www.pyrorobotics.org/?page=Pyro which is designed as an abstraction to allow AI algorithms to interact with robots without getting too deeply into the guts of the robotic sensors and actuators. So, Pei, my suggestion is that if you want NARS to interact with robots, perhaps you could do it using a Pyro interface. That way it would be easy to port your NARS-botic mind to various types of physical robots, and into the AGISim world as well (once we create a Pyro front end to AGISim) The Pyro page says " Robots: Currently, the robots supported include the Pioneer family (Pioneer, Pioneer2, PeopleBot robots), the Khepera family (Khepera, Khepera 2 and Hemisson robots), the AIBO, the IntelliBrain-Bot, and the Roomba. " I don't know how much these robots cost, nor do I know if there are other frameworks roughly equivalent to Pyro that I have not heard of. -- Ben ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
