I have used neural networks for learning (a mobile robot following a black line) as well as using genetic algorithms for creating robots that can move and the results can be very impressive. You can also gain a great deal of insight into why things we do, such as walking and moving, actually work and the sometimes bizarrely different approaches that can achieve the same results.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Plus, this walking mobile robot looks really interesting, I&#39;ll have to see if I can get a better understanding of the mechanism and then I might make my own.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dubbie</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=8792&AppID=141&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
