You might be right, but I'm very skeptical. I don't see how any complex behaviour can simply 'emerge' from strict algorithms like SLAM. SLAM as I know it doesn't allow for emergent behavior at all (except for its explicit mapping ability). Eventually, you will have to write something which allows for emergent behaviour and complex communication. To me, that stage of your project is the interesting crux of AGI. It should have some very interesting emergant behaviour with inputs other than the information SLAM outputs. Why not just work on that difficult part now? -J ----- 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/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=93292780-7d3b9c
