http://www.robocup.org/robocup-home/ @Home League The RoboCup@Home league aims to develop service and assistive robot technology with high relevance for future personal domestic applications. It is the largest international annual competition for autonomous service robots and is part of the RoboCup initiative. A set of benchmark tests is used to evaluate the robots’ abilities and performance in a realistic non-standardized home environment setting. Focus lies on the following domains but is not limited to: Human-Robot-Interaction and Cooperation, Navigation and Mapping in dynamic environments, Computer Vision and Object Recognition under natural light conditions, Object Manipulation, Adaptive Behaviors, Behavior Integration, Ambient Intelligence, Standardization and System Integration.

NeroTournamentExercise - opennero - NERO Machine Learning Tournament - game platform for Artificial Intelligence research and education

In this exercise, you will use either the rtNEAT algorithm or Reinforcement Learning to train a team OpenNero agents to defeat your opponents in battle. We will run a tournament in class, where we will pit the teams against each other in an apocalyptic battle for world domination (or something). Follow the steps below, unless of course you're comfortable getting destroyed by your opponents who did. 0. Install prerequisites for running OpenNERO See OpenNeroPrerequisites for detailed instructions for your platform.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20905-take-the-visual-turing-test.html Read more: " Universal intelligence: One test to rule them all " The Turing test is the most famous benchmark of artificial intelligence, but it is flawed. Now an addition that gauges a machine's visual skills has been proposed. Devised by 20th-century mathematician Alan Turing , the test pits the conversational abilities of chatbots against humans. To pass, judges must be tricked into believing that a bot is human, based only on a typed exchange.

One Per Cent: Chatbots fail to convince judges that they're human

Paul Marks, senior technology correspondent Hugh Loebner with the bronze award, picturing Alan Turing (Image: Paul Marks) A chatbot called Rosette won the $4000 annual Loebner Prize in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Exeter yesterday - but once again none of the four chatbots that were competing managed to convince any of the judges that they were human. After computer pioneer Alan Turing in 1950 posited the notion that machines might one day be thought of as "thinking", the competition attempts to find a computer program whose chat responses are indistinguishable from a human's. They are nowhere near it. Every year since 1991, the prize's founder, Hugh Loebner, has asked four judges to sit at computer terminals where they can talk to a both a human (who's hiding in another room) and a chatbot - but they are not told which is which. http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/onepercent/2011/10/turing-test-chatbots-kneel-bef.html
Congratulations the ants contest winner, Mathis Lichtenberger. He is a second year computer science student at the University of Lubeck. His winning bot ( post mortem ) is called xathis . A close second place is Evgeniy Voronyuk. http://aichallenge.org/?mid=508

Click on the Judge Program to start it In the window which appears enter a "1" in the boxes at the top of the window which are labeled "Judge Number" and "Round Number" Click on the green button at the right of the window which is labeled "New Round" The Judge Program will request, via a browse function, folders for Webcast Left, Webcast Right, Human, and Your Program. Select them accordingly. The Judge Program will indicate which side, left or right, interaction with your program will take place.

Ants is a multi-player strategy game set on a plot of dirt with water for obstacles and food that randomly drops. Each player has one or more hills where ants will spawn. The objective is for players to seek and destroy the most enemy ant hills while defending their own hills. Players must also gather food to spawn more ants, however, if all of a player's hills are destroyed they can't spawn any more ants. Loading visualizer... Fetching replay from:
