I`ve had an exchange of ideas with JoeJ over the last week, several pages of discussion. Our exchange and some of the ideas i came up with make the basic principles to be followed in building terminator level robot. I`m not going to put all the chicken eggs into one basket so I`m letting you …
the definition for simulation on the Internet is:
[sɪmjuːˈleɪʃ(ə)n]
NOUN
imitation of a situation or process:
"simulation of blood flowing through arteries and veins" ·
the action of pretending; deception: (like faking orgasm my note)
Simulation is basically an illusion. We often think about someth…
In programming there is the traditional, complicated/heavy weight approach to computer science. That`s how computer science works it`s complicated. I am making efforts to learn it through for some time now. However there something additional, a light weight second playground. It`s another 15 …
I already shared the ideas for this entry with JoeJ. This is a short recap of them.
At any given time when the user has to take an economy decision, his decision to build something means that he decides to omit to build a number of other things. Basically there is a cloud of related options at…
I was saying self awareness is the ability to watch detach and observe what others are thinking of you. We know what other people that we are familiar with think even if they don`t express their thoughts/feelings in an explicit fashion. Basically once we have become familiar with a person`s charact…
Before executing an action you need to run a predictive simulation to see if executing the action is a good decision or not. I`m attaching some images to aid my explanation about simulation.
I`ll be using a very well defined situation in my explanation to get rid of all the unknowns. My …
In RTS games a basic technique required to get the game working is pathfinding. Everyone knows what A star is. However when we talk about realistic AI the process of getting a task achieved could be labeled “pathfinding” as well. For example if you are using a computer if you need a certain task ac…
The AI will operate from within a screen frame that covers only a small portion of the map. It can move that frame on the map in order to get access to units anywhere on the amp but it can not interact with units that are not in the frame. There are three types of things visible in the frame:…
When you simulate your oponent you don`t simulate all of him but rather just his weapon. You don`t care about his general image as a human person.
self awarenes is two processors, a dedublation. One processor takes into account all the inns and outs of the second processor. It`s like trying to detach of yourself to see the overall image.
Each person we know is just a 'folder' in our mind. If we know a total of 15 persons that`s 15 folders stored in our brain. Each person we know is independent of us however the folder for each person we have doesn`t update constantly. It will update only when we`re in contact with that person…
One of the biggest challenge in developing a terminator grade robot is making a robot know what to expect. A robot caught by surprise/something he hasn`t foreseen poses danger to himself and those around him. There are events that even a human can not predict, like a falling meteorite from the sky,…
JoeJ said somewhere that computers can only operate/evaluate things if they have been transformed in a digital form. I want to stop by his statement.
Realistic AI consists of two main stages. The first stage is making a reconstitution of the outer world in a virtual environment. The second sta…
I`m aware about the rumors. What I want to say is that I want to continue updating this blog branch and I can`t do it without feedback. I think it`s a win for everyone if the exchange of ideas continues. JoeJ I`m eager to hear your thoughts, regardless if it`s positive feedback or critique. …
I had doubts about making this post. I don`t like to talk about this issue but I think it`s something that has to be done. A lot of my views expressed in this blog are still vague and I haven`t written any source code yet, still I have the belief that my ideas on the subject are original and can`t …
Unlike computers our mind doesn`t run a complex pathfinding algorithm when it needs to find a path. When it needs to figure out if there is a path between two points separated by an obstacle (let`s say we need to figure out if a unit will be able to cross an the other side of a spawn of water…
This is obvious stuff, it`s probably nothing new to anybody but I`m going to say it anyway.
How does a robot solve a problem he hasn`t meet before? The problems we`re facing can be solved either directly using our body members like hands (opening a barn door that has no handle) or using …
I would like to share two thoughts in this entry, they are related in my mind (that`s why I`m not making two separate entries) and I hope they will seem related to you as well.
The first thought is about how the mind is perceiving computers. I was saying previously that in our mind the o…
When we see something brand new coming out of the production line, we perceive that thing in a shroud of perfection which is something that really doesn`t help us understand what we`re looking at. To get to understand the brand new thing we need see it being raped (f-d would be the word I wou…
I was talking about an universal problem solving algorithm previously. I`m going to explain how solving basic physical tasks/problems should work. It`s pretty simple stuff. Basically a robot needs to figure out what the end result he`s chasing look like, usually that`s an object in a certain …
One thing we have in our behavior is the fact that we love animals, I mean we do not fear them, at least not the domestic ones. It`s one of the first things we learn in life, animals are good and something to admire. When I say we do not fear them I mean we take them as 'stable', we go by the belie…
Terminator as I see it has nothing to do with speech recognition, speech processing and formulating intelligent answers. Terminator is just an intelligent animal, it doesn`t know anything about history or literature, it can`t talk, which is kind of frightening. So it`s not really like what you see …
I was saying in a previous entry that both animals and artificial devices have a body and a head. This distinction body/head is found not only in artificial and natural devices (which is what animals are) but also in the space surrounding us. Of course you can`t say space has a body and a head a pr…
The factors that are influencing the decisions we make a limited by number. This is something I`ve already brought into discussion in the past. There is this idea floating in the air that we are self aware and that the machines can`t poses this self awareness. If you ask me I would trim the express…
An interesting thing I noticed in the behavior of my dog. When he is blocking the way when I want to pass somewhere, we moves aside as soon as I get close to him and it`s obvious to him that I want to pass to the other side. What this means is that the dog runs a predictive routine in his head, he …
Starcraft tanks are a good example of why it`s hard to make a good AI for Starcraft. When AI decides to attack and is sending his units your way, if you happen to have tanks his units will enter under the tank fire umbrella without taking a second thought and get slaughtered no time. IMO it`s…
How is Reality different from a dream. Reality is the state where you have total awareness. By total awareness I mean a situation where you`re keeping tracking of time, know that there is a tomorrow (with things that need to be done when it comes) and that there was an yesterday, today being the da…
I have said that:
“When you`re looking to achieve something on your laptop windows 95, the operation will be executed on the brain version first”
The taskbar and all the forms that are in a opened state at one point on your laptop are 'floating' at that moment as objects/interfaces in your mind…
