Hello again. My friend and I have been developing a unique program for a few months. There's no real name for it, but it basically simulates simple life through Neural Networks. They are quite literally small digital forms of life. They are "born" with no knowledge, but through experimenting, they learn to move, eat, and survive.
Now, on to the real reason for this thread. This friend I mentioned, has the ability to read pixel data from a Webcam. I have the ability to send signals through a serial port. Basically, what I'm wondering, is are we allowed to securely mount a laptop and webcam on the robot for autonomous mode? My thoughts are that we take this program, set it up so when the Neural Net learns "Move Forward", the Serial port sends a signal to a Digital input, which activates the wheels. I'm quite serious about this. I don't know how well it would work learning-wise, but if it did, there would certainly be some impressed people.
Comments/Suggestions are welcome, but please try and keep it positive
Geekier than me? That's a goal you can shoot for. You might make it, too -- in twenty years or so. :cool: - Richard Wallace [more]
