Hoping this will spark a huge discussion on what everyone is looking for when it comes to their robot's AI.
AI is something I've been working on since before I even learned of EZ-Robots. My JARVIS replica from IronMan is coming up to being 3 years old come December and, while not started in ARC, over the last few months I've been porting parts over to ARC and those which are beyond the capabilities of ARC are integrated via Telnet. These include such things as voice controlled media playback, voice activated control of appliances, lights etc. and, well to be honest, far more than I can really explain right now.
Basically, up until now it is entirely built around home automation and automated media acquisition, storage, playback and logging. Recently I have been integrating and porting over parts of it in to ARC and where ARC is not capable of carrying out the actions, integration via Telnet so that ARC (and it's scripts) are aware of everything they need to be aware of (i.e. if media playback starts, EventGhost sends ARC a script command $mediaplayback = 1, when it's finished it sends $mediaplayback = 0 (that's a very simple example, it also sends more info on the media). This will be demonstrated soon by Melvin when I get around to making the video of him knowing what's on TV.
Like I said, so far it's mainly based around Media and Home Automation. What I want to discuss is...
What do you want in your robot's AI?
What do you want him/her to be able to do without human interaction? What do you want him/her to react or respond to? What do you want the AI to enhance? Why do you want AI?
And, for anyone who already has some kind of AI running; What does your AI add to your robot?
Hopefully this will spark up some interesting conversation, get some ideas out there, inspire others (and myself) to push on with the AI and make robots more intelligent
I updated the code 2 posts back. It should be a little closer and also has notes on the problem areas. The biggest is an euclidean algorithm in ARC to find the greatest or least common divisor. Many other A.I. processes use this type of function (I wish they wouldn't use math! I hate MATH!)
If a Euclidean magically appeared in the next release that would swell!
As a work around, I suppose it might be possible to create a Euclidean script that compares other values from other scripts, then it could be used by anybody for anything. It makes me very sad (lol) to think of scripting that process though (Whaaaaaa!)
@Justin...LOL I hate math too, that's why I let you tackle this....
If you go back to post #119 in this thread you'll see I have updated the script. The only thing it does is get past a syntax check. Its not functional yet, but it looks pretty.
As Homer Simpson would say "I am so smart...S, M, R, T...I mean S, M, A, R, T"
I don't know if anyone has used this, or maybe everyone knew this....but I did not think ARC had the ability to divide or multiple or subtract. But it can do all of these things with the ABS()
The Script manual only show the example of converting a negative number: " Abs( value ) Returns the absolute value of a number Converts a negative into a positive number Example: $x = Abs(-22)"
But does a LOT more! With some luck I might have a functional script soon.
And you can mix together operations:
Oh man... "order of operations".... I am getting dizzy sick
ok, you are smart, I am so tired. T I R D, tired.
You nailed it Richard, it also obeys order of operations.
Looking through old posts and found this one. Was the script ever completed and functional within the EzB environment?
