Tutorial Description
In order to test out many different learning algorithms it was suggested I create a simulator for my robot. I created the simulator and augmented a version of NEAT which I found for MATLAB. NEAT is a genetic algorithm which evolves neural networks. It is really cool and looks to also be really powerful. The original paper can be found here: http://nn.cs.utexas.edu/pub-view.php?PubID=122 Also for more information on my project be sure to check out: http://wikis.swarthmore.edu/ECE90/index.php/Velez2009 It will probably take me two days or so to update it for the simulator and stuff I’ve done with NEAT
