All you professional programmers. This is a Chalenge to you.
The algorythm below is what I am trying to accomplish on my robot. It is NOT a program, but just an idea. If this works, we will have not only an autonymous robot, but one that will be able to LEARN and Improve over time.
Anyone is welcome to tackle it. If you succeed, please POST the code.
This should be changed into code and Placed inside your Navigation script.
Initialize Set ConfidenceLevel to 3 #a group of any actions could be more or less than 16 but I have actions (0-15) Actions: 0=sleep 1=Forward 2=Backward 3=TurnLeft 4=TurnRight 5=Spin Around 6=playExplore 7=LookCenter 8=LookLeft 9=LookRight 10=LookUp 11=LookDown 12=GiveTimeDateDay 13=checkSonars 14=Check4Lifeforms (ScanPIR) 15=Laugh
While navigating:
Generate Unique Random Number (RN) (0-15) choose action (that random number) Read LastMove if last move=bad then (confidence level=confidenceLevel -1) if last move=good then (confidence level equal ConfidenceLevel +1) if ConfidenceLevel more than 3 then confidenceLevel=3 if ConfidenceLevel less than 0 then confidenceLevel=zero if confidenceLevel greater than Zero then confidenceLevel=good if confidenceLevel =zero then goback and generate New RN and start over at the top read status of sonars if status= good then confidenceLevel =(confidenceLevel+1) if status=good then preform Action if status=bad then confidencelevel=(confidenceLevel-1) if status=bad then goback and generate new RN let lastmove=newmove save status save lastmove
We would also listen for the word "No!" if we heard that, Confidencelevel would shrink to Zero also we listen for the word "GOOD!" if we heard that, confidencelevel would be equal to 3
This is a very CRUDE representation of this Algorythm, but, By doing this, the robot could be trained and have More accuracy and Learning. he would be smarter. He will know Good from Bad. Bad would be like running into something. Good would be clear path, etc.
Hope you understand what I am trying to accomplish. If I were a good programmer, it would have already been done.
I will be trying it also. But, Fred, if you want to help , I would appreciate it.
It is ALL about programming. The only programming I took up in school was Fortran and CoBol. I would loved to have taken up C# and Java and VB and stuff like that.
side note: (My homemade Marti (EZB) is doing so much more than my Qbo EVO Pro which is JUST SITTING THERE like the turtlebot I threw away.)
Fred, do you understand the CONCEPT of the point I was trying to make above?
Marti is working fine, except for Navigation and A.I. Maybe this script will help. who knows.
:-)
YES,and yes i will help,problem is not helping you,just never get done with my omnibot 2000 project. I guess you are trying to get it be like the AI software we both have from our club (dont mention the name) ,i want the same thing also, Am i right about this One main reason going to work on it,but it is a very long list of AI stuff to add from other software SO it will take awhile to finish it for you and me
AND YES guys will post the code if i am able to make for everyone to use I always will post all my codes for others to use,i dont see much code sharing on this site.
I see many many robot projects but ALMOST no codes to share ,WHY
Maybe most of these people are NOVICE , or they are Engineers for Hardware, not software.
Most people who really know how to program well are off making TONS of money enjoying what they do. They stay so busy there is not much time for family. But, BOY, D.J. and his team are Surely GOOD at what they do. And Fast!
;)
@MovieMaker..totally awesome! I am 100percent in agreement with your philosophy...hmmm perhaps robotmaker with all his AI expertise can tackle that one!..I love it when the light comes ON...and wow MovieMaker your lighting up the Forum!....Let the experiments begin.Like you I am not a pro programmer but your PREscript is intriguing and worth pursuing. and thanks DJ for you valuable input to "kickstart" the idea.
@irobot58,
God Bless!
IROBOT58 I do know about AI ,been testing different AI software for a very long long time ,so far this maybe a good platform to add it too,but there is a lot of programming needed to make a true AI software.
Like the one i am using now no programming is needed,but wont work for EZB so converting it to EZB AI will take a very long time,SCRIPTING and TXT file does make it a little easy Also i dont know about the $AIsuccess how it compares to the ones used in AI software i have since they are using many ,AI values we have are based on emotions ,mood ,random and more,
Maybe i can post a small part of the AI code and see if it can be done. I think DJ said that the $AIsuccess is only random and ours also has a differents of levels ,like 1,2,3,4 depending on the mood or emotions or random
i guess only DJ can answer it,or make changes if he wants
Fred, feel FREE to post code. I would like to look at any code you have.
@robotmaker, there is more than just a lot of code for good AI, try millions of dollars in R&D and literally years of writing and fine tuning code, that's what happens when game devs use AI.
What DJ was talking about with the $AIsuccess is the personality generator, there's noting stopping anyone from making a different personality generator/AI with different levels etc. Personality generator, at least on first looks, is a basic form of AI based on random numbers picking an action and code to avoid repeating the same thing too many times in a row. It'll work for some applications but those who want more lifelike, more of a freewill for their bots will be disappointed in it... but if you want a robot that advanced you have to put the time and effort in.
