The Awakening of Conscious Bots: Inside the Mind of the 2K BotPrize 2010 Winner
Most of current efforts in the development of believable bots — bots that behave like human players — are based on classical AI techniques. These techniques are based on relatively old principles, which nevertheless are being progressively improved or wisely adapted increasing their performance in order to satisfy new game requirements. Taking a different perspective, […]

Behavior Generation in Bots
Having a shared workspace, where sensory and motor flows converge, facilitates the implementation of the multiple feedback loops required for adapted and effective behavior. The winning simple behavior is continuously confronted to new options generated in the physical layer, thus providing a mechanism for interrupting behaviors in progress as soon as they are no longer […]
