[Adaptive Robot Controller]

Project date: May 2011
Tags: robotics :: neural networks :: Java :: AI :: A-Life

A robot neural controller where obstacle-avoidance and random-walk neurons observe level of their irritation and randomly reconfigure their connections to motors when the irritation reaches a specified threshold is presented and tested.

Individual neurons have self-recurrent connections and receive function-specific input. The neural controller shows either robustness or adaptivity to noise and sensory and motor function perturbations by utilising ultrastability and subsumption principles.
