Bio-inspired A.I. for Roomba robot

A class of Master's students at EPFL ( http://www.epfl.ch ) developed bio-inspired artificial intelligence for the Roomba vacuum cleaning robot ( http://www.irobot.com ) that outperformed the program shipping with the robot.

Performance was measured as the amount of dirt (colored beads) collected within 7 minutes. Control programs used bio-inspired artificial intelligence taught in the class, such as behavior-based control, neural networks, and artificial evolution. You can find more information on these methods in the book Bio-inspired Artificial Intelligence ( http://www.amazon.com/Bio-Inspired-Artificial-Intelligence-Technologies-Intel... ) by Dario Floreano ( http://people.epfl.ch/dario.floreano ) and Claudio Mattiussi ( http://lis.epfl.ch/~claudio/ ).
