== INITIAL IDEA/FIRST DESIGN== | |||
My first idea was to design a bio inspired robot that simulates the neuromuscular function of a C. elegans. The design was a bio-inspired agent living a simplified bio-inspired environment. The robot would be trained with deep reinforcement learning which is an area of machine learning concerned with how intelligent agents learn to achieve a goal in a potentially complex environment with trial and error and come up with a solution to the problem. The agent wants to achieve staying alive as long as possible. Finding bacteria and avoiding heat helps it to stay alive. It gets either rewards or penalties for the actions it performs. Its goal is to maximize the total reward. (At the end of the page you will find a presentation about this design.) | |||
The first robot design is equipped with wheels, on board processor, voltage regulator, batteries, distance sensor, color sensor, thermo sensor which allows it to locomote in a snakelike manner, find food sources (bacteria) and avoid heat. | |||
