How to I give my robot brains?

the_future
the_future over 11 years ago

I've been doing a bit of independent homework on the web as i plan to advance from

being the novice I am and what came to mind was that some engineers and coders

were able to give robots the ability to think like an animal or give the robot the power

to learn or do a task better than it was shown to do the task.

 

So how do we give robots brains, are there any special functions I

could use in coding?

    Hire a zombie. It will find brains. The hard part is getting the zombie to bring the brains back to you

    Any microcontroller or computer can be programmed to learn and make decisions that could be classed as thinking. Of course, the more complex the thinking behaviour you want to implement, the more power the computer will need. So choose the maximum computer power you are comfortable programming and start figuring out how to make the computer make decisions differently depending on what they have already "experienced" or recorded or even just depending on feedback from sensors. Then build a robot chassis to carry the computer. As you learn more about the rules and logic involved in this type of programming, you will be able to expand the "thinking" capabilities of your program.

    Is it a good idea to use an android phone as  a brain and have arduino control sensors, motors, etc? I mean, the logic and decisions will be done by an android phone.

    If you want to make very complex task you need a microcontroller(because AI is very difficult) You should know progrmming(advanced) and if program is lenghty, use I2C

    -Arduino Playground - I2C

    -I2C between Arduino's
