Berry Iii: an Interactive Simulator for Artificial Creatures

نویسنده

  • Christian Balkenius
چکیده

BERRY III is an interactive tool for the construction and simulation of neural network controlled artificial creatures that can be considered either as biological models or as simulated robots. Environments and creatures can be built and modified during simulation time using a large set of graphical editors and viewers. The simulator also includes an extensive package for generation of graphs and statistics. To let the neural network controllers improve automatically, it possible to invoke an evolution module that uses the genetic algorithm to create new neural networks using a large selection of evolution schemes. The simulator is in the public domain and suitable both as a research tool and in education.

All You Never Wanted to Know about the Berry Iii Environment

BERRY III is a simulator for autonomous robots and artificial creatures. This report describes the various elements of the simulated environment and the implementation of the physical part of the simulator. The body, the sensor and motor systems of the simulated creatures are described in detail together with the algorithms used to model interaction between objects. These algorithms include cal...

Integration of Psychological Models in the Design of Artificial Creatures

Artificial creatures form an increasingly important component of interactive computer games. Examples of such creatures exist which can interact with each other and the game player and learn from their experiences. However, we argue, the design of the underlying architecture and algorithms has to a large extent overlooked knowledge from psychology and cognitive sciences. We explore the integrat...

Evolving Physically Simulated Flying Creatures for Efficient Cruising

The body-brain coevolution of aerial life forms has not been developed as far as aquatic or terrestrial locomotion in the field of artificial life. We are studying physically simulated 3D flying creatures by evolving both wing shapes and their controllers. A creature's wing is modeled as a number of articulated cylinders, connected by triangular films (patagia). The wing structure and its motor...

Simulation Environment for Selected Parts of Artificial Life Domain

Our research is focused on the simulation of agent – animate. The architecture of these agents is mainly inspired by nature and therefore they are sometimes called artificial creatures. The main contribution of this paper is the description of designed simulation environment architecture for the Artificial Life (ALife) domain. It was named the World of Artificial Life (WAL). Our platform incorp...

Proposal for Thesis Research in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Title

Brief Statement of the Problem: Minsky's book " The Society of Mind " offers a set of powerful insights on how one might go about constructing an artificial mind. To put these ideas into practice, there are several engineering challenges that must be overcome. Chief among these is designing an explicit memory architecture that adequately supports the concept of K-line. I propose to design and i...
