Robot Blog

A blog to keep track of my honours project.

Flattened & Good Times

Today, I managed to remove a LOT of the methods from my code by creating better methods that could cover a few functions. I tweaked the learning mechanism some more … and I think it might actually be working! Holy crap!

I need to test it further: and in order to do that, I need to program the ability to tell the robot arm to reposition itself anywhere that I tell it to. I also need to fix the arm bouncing off the mouth, and create a reset method to reset the arm to a random position after it touches the mouth.

I have some awesome new tasks, and am meeting Frank again on Monday at 11am. The tasks are to create a way of saving the schemaLibrary and loading the schemaLibrary, and to show visually a chosen schema on screen. It’ll be so cool doing something that isn’t the learning mechanism - as that just about drove me insane.
