rlm@155 1 * Brainstorming different sensors and effectors.
rlm@155 2
rlm@155 3 Every sense that we have should have an effector that changes what
rlm@155 4 that sense (or others who have that sense) experiences.
rlm@155 5
rlm@155 6 ** Classic Senses
rlm@155 7 | Sense | Effector |
rlm@155 8 |------------------------------+---------------------------------|
rlm@155 9 | Vision | Variable Coloration |
rlm@155 10 | Hearing | Speech |
rlm@155 11 | Proprioception | Movement |
rlm@155 12 | Smell/Taste (Chemoreception) | Pheremones |
rlm@155 13 | Touch | Movement / Controllable Texture |
rlm@155 14 | Acceleration | Movement |
rlm@155 15 | Balance (sense gravity) | Movement |
rlm@155 16 | | |
rlm@155 17
rlm@155 18 - New Senses/Effectors
rlm@155 19 - Levitation
rlm@155 20 - Telekenesis
rlm@155 21 - control of gravity within a certain radius
rlm@155 22 - speed up/slow time
rlm@155 23 - object creation/destruction
rlm@155 24
rlm@155 25 - Symbol Sense
rlm@155 26 Where objects in the world can be queried for description /
rlm@155 27 symbols.
rlm@155 28
rlm@155 29 - Symbol Marking
rlm@155 30 The ability to mark objects in the world with your own descriptions
rlm@155 31 and symbols.
rlm@155 32
rlm@155 33 - Vision
rlm@155 34 Distinguish the polarization of light
rlm@155 35 Color
rlm@155 36 Movement
rlm@155 37
rlm@155 38 * project ideas
rlm@155 39 - HACKER for writing muscle-control programs : Presented with
rlm@155 40 low-level muscle control/ sense API, generate higher level programs
rlm@155 41 for accomplishing various stated goals. Example goals might be
rlm@155 42 "extend all your fingers" or "move your hand into the area with
rlm@155 43 blue light" or "decrease the angle of this joint". It would be
rlm@155 44 like Sussman's HACKER, except it would operate with much more data
rlm@155 45 in a more realistic world. Start off with "calestanthics" to
rlm@155 46 develop subrouitines over the motor control API. This would be the
rlm@155 47 "spinal chord" of a more intelligent creature. The low level
rlm@155 48 programming code might be a turning machine that could develop
rlm@155 49 programs to iterate over a "tape" where each entry in the tape
rlm@155 50 could control recruitment of the fibers in a muscle.
rlm@155 51 - Make a virtual computer in the virtual world which with which the
rlm@155 52 creature interacts using its fingers to press keys on a virtual
rlm@155 53 keyboard. The creature can access the internet, watch videos, take
rlm@155 54 over the world, anything it wants.
rlm@155 55 - Make virtual insturments like pianos, drumbs, etc that it learns to
rlm@155 56 play.
rlm@155 57 - make a joint that figures out what type of joint it is (range of
rlm@155 58 motion)
