MicroRaptor AI

MicroRaptor will be a robot that allows me to experiment with advanced AI concepts. I have worked out what the basic architecture of the AI brain will look like.

In very general terms, the brain will have the following areas:

Long Term Memory - everything is stored here, including maps, goals, vision recognition targets, walking gaits, etc.

Short Term Memory - the stuff that is currently active. Includes "engines" for doing goal resolution, navigation, sensor queries, and motion. Is implemented as a fixed size collection of slots.

Motion Control - handles interfacing with the muscles (actuators)

One of the hallmarks of intelligence is how we predict things. An excellent book that delves much deeper into this topic is On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins. MicroRaptor will start off with very little predictive ability, but as things progress, more of the systems that make up the brain will be set up to handle prediction.
