1138 I created =CORTEX=, a complete environment for creating simulated
1139 creatures. Creatures can use biologically inspired senses including
1140 touch, proprioception, hearing, vision, and muscle tension. Each
1141 sense has a uniform API that is well documented. =CORTEX= comes with
1142 multiple example creatures and a large test suite. You can create
1143 new creatures using blender, a free 3D modeling tool. I hope that
1144 =CORTEX= will prove useful for research ranging from distributed
1145 swarm creature simulation to further research in sensory
1146 integration.
