Hi Mario,
I'm trying to design a robot pet (using the Cybermaster and neural brain AI
software in VB). The problem I have encountered is that apart from the
basics (the desire for 'food') it is difficult to find suitable targets for
it's behaviour. How for example do I get it to explore it's world, how do
you create a desire to mate etc, etc. Is this described in the books you're
referring to? And are these books on the internet somewhere?

| (...) It's all a matter of framing it in the correct reward/punishment context. E.g., if you want it to learn its environment, punish it for not running into things, reward it for actively avoiding obstacles (which opens the question: How're you (...) (28 years ago, 15-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)
