Sergius, Im somewhat confused by your matrix idea. What is it plotting? Sensor data vs what? Perhaps time?

The problem with this is if your robot is hurt, its too late, its been damaged already (perhaps even the sensors designed to detect the damage). Learning from this could perhaps prevent more damage, but it might probably be too late . . . So your robot needs to be able to learn something without it even happening . . . For example, you dont need to jump off a cliff to know that it will hurt . . .

Perhaps your robot needs an internal physics modeling engine that tries stuff out in its little robot head before doing stuff in reality (this has been tried before on biped robots in Japan).

The learning part would be to A remember the calculated result and B know when to do a simulation run


--- Quote ---but what would a robot need in terms of emotions?

Anything that will help the robot learn to get what it needs (spare parts, power supply, a human to save it when it's stuck, victims, etc)

an addition to this . . . anything that uses energy is negative - more required energy, the worse it is . . . perhaps a laziness emotion is needed to make the system find the most energy efficient way of doing things?


--- Quote ---I'm thinking of using a simple system for initial reward / punishment. Basically just using 2 pushbuttons - 1 for reward i.e. pat on the back, and 1 for punishment i.e. smack on the hand. Bumper switches can also be used for bad stimulus, and also a device to monitor actuators to determine when they are close to a stall level, or when the actuators are being overpowered, this could act similar to a pain mechanism

Ive seen this done before, and it works. The only big complaint is that it requires a very good 'teacher' that is willing to spend large amounts of time with a system that cannot learn independently . . .
