Robots

Robots! that is right people the word of the day is robots.

I was trying to come up with an idea for a robot body the other day, when I had an revelation. Ever one always goes for the really cool drone type, or bug type robot, then they attach a remote control and wham we have another expensive toy.

So my idea was to spend as little time as possible on the body, and really make sure my robot was going to be autonomous. I've been dabbling around with an OpenCL+fann library and also with ROS, they are available through a Google search if you really are interested. So after toiling  for a few hours and sacrificing a few toys, I give you Nubby the touchy robot.


This will serve as a test bed for sensory organelle as well as being a test bed for me and neural networks in general.
