Artificial Intelligence for Robotics

Under construction

Let’s review all the parts we have to put together to make our robot personality:

• Simulation
• Monte Carlo (stochastic, or random based) modeling
• Our robot emotion state machine
• Perception of human emotion state machine
• Our robot biography (list of internal facts about the robot)
• A conversation engine framework called ELIZA
• Context – the ability to remember and return facts and “fill in the blanks”

In the next few sections, I will be presenting the code that I added to Albert to facilitate his artificial personality. A lot of it will be contained in script files that provide rules and patterns for Tinman’s speech. There will also be code functions for his emotion engine, human emotion model, and game engine.

Let’s get ...
