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.
