All source code is C, and also (hopefully) ANSI-C, except where noted explicitly.  So far, everything has been tested out only on LINUX with the `gcc' compiler.  Comments at the start of the source files explain how to compile the sources. 

• ``Ant Brain'' software
  
  A simple neural-network like ``brain'' suitable for a simple robot with about the intelligence of an ant.  Contrary to an ant, however, absolutely no behaviour of the robot is hard-wired in into the brain -- a robot equipped with this brain acquires knowledge about how to behave successfully only through learning, that is, through interacting with its environment and modifying the brain contents on the basis of experience.  Notwithstanding the fact that the brain is limited to poor ``intelligence'', a robot with this brain nevertheless does learn how to behave successfully in whatever environment it is let loose in.  A brain program of this design is probably about the simplest way to implement a brain that performs this kind of learning behaviour. 
  
  
  • ../aiclub/doc_cellc.txt -- Some basic documentation about cellc.c and res3.c and about how these two programs cooperate.
  • cellc.c -- Source code for the simple neural-network like ``ant brain'' program.  The compiled program cellc can be run separately from the robot environment simulator program (res3).
  • sym.c , sym.h -- Some subroutines used inside cellc.c .
  • res3.c -- Program that simulates a robot using a brain program of the kind of cellc walking around in a simple simulated environment.  Uses the UNIX <unistd.h> and <fcntl.h> libraries to call the brain program as a ``server'', and uses the UNIX `curses' library for screen output.  To run the compiled simulator program with the cellc brain program, type the command `res3 cellc'.
