RobotArm

Synopsis

• A machine learning environment in which the AI or human player controls the angles of n connected fixed length rods to move the head or a robotic arm into contact with a target.

FeedBack

• Human: visual state of the game.
• AI: three distance sensors (very accurate nostrils), and a list of all current angular positions of the Arm.

Levels

Level | # Blue Pills | Pills Moving?* ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ------------- 0 | 1 | no | 0 1 | 1 | yes (super slow) | 0 2 | 1 | yes (slow) | 0 3 | 1 | yes (medium) | 0 4 | 1 | yes (fast) | 0

• pill movement is simple back and forth.

Evaluation:

The efficiency of an AI algorithm is scored in two ways:

• time elapsed to catch the target
• the amount of activation energy required
