Arduino robot controlled by Neural Network

My first attempt in neural networks. I connected 1 adruino mega, 3 servos, 1 analog infrared receiver, 3 contacts and 2 encoders from an old printer. I use a genetic algorithm that trains the 5-7-2 neural network (5 inputs, 7 neurons in the hidden layer and 2 in output). The 5 inputs are the 5 areas that the IR scans using the third servo, and the 2 outputs are the speed of each wheel servo.

Enjoy :)

Call me crazy, but this is the music they used in the Italian Job, is it not?

@MadTown314 It's Amon Tobin. I don't know if they used it for the soundtrack of the film

Απιθανο!! Ο γενετικος κωδικας μεταλλασεται μεσα στην μνημη του ρομποτ ή με software στον υπολογιστη ασυρματα (bluetooth)??

Μπραβο!!!! Αντε και με ποδια την επομενη φορα!!!

Στον arduino γίνονται όλα :)

wait...why does the video says chromosomes?

[keithosmarferrer]

a good robot doesn't need any switches

[keithosmarferrer]

amazing! i'm currently making an analogue neural network trained robot in the form of an orangutan!

@arminask not banging into stuff

[arminask]

what was the robot doing after 6th minute that it didn't do before???

[ciolamorta]

POST THE CODE! AMAZING!

Will you be releasing the source code for this at some point? I think a great project for getting people into robotics would be to make a robot that isn't just "remote controlled", but to build something that can learn. I think using some shield that exist now for driving motors and servos, a kit could be put together for pretty cheap.
