9 * Intro
|
|
rlm@73
|
10 So far, I've made the following senses --
|
|
rlm@73
|
11 - Vision
|
|
rlm@73
|
12 - Hearing
|
|
rlm@73
|
13 - Touch
|
|
rlm@73
|
14 - Proprioception
|
|
rlm@73
|
15
|
|
rlm@73
|
16 And one effector:
|
|
rlm@73
|
17 - Movement
|
|
rlm@73
|
18
|
|
rlm@73
|
19 However, the code so far has only enabled these senses, but has not
|
|
rlm@73
|
20 actually implemented them. For example, there is still a lot of work
|
|
rlm@73
|
21 to be done for vision. I need to be able to create an /eyeball/ in
|
|
rlm@73
|
22 simulation that can be moved around and see the world from different
|
|
rlm@73
|
23 angles. I also need to determine weather to use log-polar or cartesian
|
|
rlm@73
|
24 for the visual input, and I need to determine how/wether to
|
|
rlm@73
|
25 disceritise the visual input.
|
|
rlm@73
|
26
|
|
rlm@73
|
27 I also want to be able to visualize both the sensors and the
|
|
rlm@73
|
28 effectors in pretty pictures. This semi-retarted creature will by my
|
|
rlm@73
|
29 first attempt at bringing everything together.

31 * The creature's body
|
|
rlm@73
|
32
|
|
rlm@73
|
33 Still going to do an eve-like body in blender, but due to problems
|
|
rlm@73
|
34 importing the joints, etc into jMonkeyEngine3, I',m going to do all
|
|
rlm@73
|
35 the connecting here in clojure code, using the names of the individual
|
|
rlm@73
|
36 components and trial and error. Later, I'll maybe make some sort of
|
|
rlm@73
|
37 creature-building modifications to blender that support whatever
|
|
rlm@73
|
38 discreitized senses I'm going to make.
