Not sure though if i would want my robot thinking for himself or herself just reminds me of Skynet from Terminator.

I just started reading the overview and it sounds pretty cool. Anyone here have any experience with MindForth Artificial Intelligence? If we can find a way to combine the MindForth AI with DJ's Personality Generator we could be on to something big. Although I can see how this could also result in a bunch of cranky bots that prove difficult to please...

That dos app gave me a few ideas. Have you seen my Synthia before? I originally started development on that to prove a concept for a relational AI that I had written for an Active Firewall. The original design monitored and trended network and application usage. If anything outside of the trend was noticed, alerts would be displayed. I'm not sure what happened to that application.

Anyway, Synthia was my personal version of the engine. I tweaked it to understand a few things regarding structured english sentences (which is practically impossible btw haha).

I had considered adding Synthia into ARC with the voice recongition and synthesis module.

The main issue I experienced with Synthia was abuse by user input. Like a child, Synthia learns from input. It disects and extracts peices of sentences to relate to topics and previous inputs. If conversation topics are not relative, the relationship is wacky. If the user input has incorrect spelling, grammar or offensive words then the database can be rendered useless.

To include in ARC, I would probably involve a central database accessed by a webservice. I would make access to the DB authenticated, so sign-up is mandatory. That would allow auditting and logging of input so abusive users could be locked out.

Might be a large project, but would sure be interesting!

In the meantime, the upcoming modules for ARC are the following:

  • Wii controller support (very soon)
  • Kinect tracking support
  • Email Alerting
  • Web Server (For remote control)
  • Interactive Help

and a few others:)

You'll see those very soon. That should keep u busy building for a bit hehe

MindForth AI for Robots has been developing at a rapid rate in this year of 2011. For those who browse the Web with Microsoft Internet Explorer, there is also a JavaScript AiMind Tutorial Version that is a lot easier to run (just click) than MindForth, which requires downloading both the program source code (free) and either Win32Forth (free) or 64-bit iForth (not free). As the author of MindForth and the JavaScript artificial intelligence (JSAI), I must advise everyone that these AI programs are easy to understand as individual lines of code, but difficult to understand as integrated parts of a functioning Mind. Nevertheless, MindForth desperately needs robot bodies to inhabit -- with sensors and actuators. So it is good to see true roboticists take an interest in MindForth AI.

Great for you to venture to our community forum Arthur. Do you have any application suggestions?
