1 * Brainstorming different sensors and effectors.

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.

19 - Levitation

21 - control of gravity within a certain radius

25 - Symbol Sense
|
|
rlm@155
|
26 Where objects in the world can be queried for description /

rlm@155

27 symbols.

29 - Symbol Marking
|

rlm@155

30 The ability to mark objects in the world with your own descriptions

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)
