چکیده

We report direct observation of a "Pac-Man" like coarsening mechanism of a self-supporting thin film of nickel oxide. The ultrathin film has an intrinsic morphological instability due to surface stress leading to the development of local thicker regions at step edges. Density functional theory calculations and continuum modeling of the elastic instability support the model for the process.

Clever Pac-man

In this paper we show how combining fuzzy sets and reinforcement learning a winning agent can be created for the popular Pac-man game. Key elements are the classification of the state into a few fuzzy classes that makes the problem manageable. Pac-man policy is defined in terms of fuzzy actions that are defuzzified to produce the actual Pac-man move. A few heuristics allow making the Pac-man st...

CI enlivened ghosts for Pac-Man

Pac-Man is a well known classic arcade game, developed by the Japanese company Namco in 1980. In Pac-Man, the player controls a figure called Pac-Man navigating through a maze with the task to eat all dots (called food-pellets) lying in the tunnels of the maze, by which he wins the level and advances to the next. Pac-Man is chased by four computer controlled enemies (ghosts) who eat him if they...

Enhancements for Monte-Carlo Tree Search in Ms Pac-Man

In this paper enhancements for the Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) framework are investigated to play Ms Pac-Man. MCTS is used to find an optimal path for an agent at each turn, determining the move to make based on randomised simulations. Ms Pac-Man is a real-time arcade game, in which the protagonist has several independent goals but no conclusive terminal state. Unlike games such as Chess or ...

Roomba Pac-Man: Teaching Autonomous Robotics through Embodied Gaming

We present an approach to teaching autonomous robotics to upper-level undergraduates through the medium of embodied games. As part of a developing course at Brown University, we have created the Roomba Pac-Man task to introduce students to different approaches to autonomous robot control in the context of a specific task. Roomba Pac-Man has been developed using commodity hardware from which stu...

Training a Pac-Man Player with Minimum Domain Knowledge and Basic Rationality

In this paper, a Pac-Man player (agent) is trained based on four neural networks. The motivation is to demonstrate how computational intelligence techniques can be used to simulate the self-learning process of human players with minimum prior knowledge about the game and basic rationality in their behaviors. Experimental results show that, on a simplified version of the original Pac-Man game, t...
