Physics Simulation with Java
Click on one of the physics simulations below... you'll see them animating in real time, and be able to interact with them by dragging objects or changing parameters like gravity. Get Java software if you don't already have it. The next set of simulations are non-interactive movies . How Does It Work? Explanations of the math and physics are provided in the simulation web pages. Free source code is provided for those wanting to experiment on their own.
Wiring
Wiring is an open-source programming framework for microcontrollers. Wiring allows writing cross-platform software to control devices attached to a wide range of microcontroller boards to create all kinds of creative coding, interactive objects, spaces or physical experiences. The framework is thoughtfully created with designers and artists in mind to encourage a community where beginners through experts from around the world share ideas, knowledge and their collective experience. There are thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Wiring for learning, prototyping, and finished professional work production. » Roadmap include support for multiple hardware architectures "Cores"Francois Junod
Francois Junod I can hear you asking "What is an Automate and who is Francois Junod?" An automate is a combination of art, sculpture, and mechanics used to create articulated, moving models resembling life and fantasy in all its forms. As for Francois Junod, let's just say that anyone who has ever experienced his art, and it’s truly an “experience,” considers him to be one of the world’s finest creators of Automate. I first met Francois a few years ago when my friend Stewart Lesemann took a job with Vianney Halter in St.

Click here for full text: Keyword(s): cognitive systems; biologically-inspired computing; artificial life; artificial intelligence; autonomous agents Abstract: This paper presents a review of the academic literature on biologically-inspired computing approaches to the science and engineering of cognitive systems. This review is intended as a rapid tour through the area (rather than a leisurely wander); and it should be readable in a few hours. The tour is partial in both senses of the word: it is only partially complete, and it is biased (i.e., it is not an impartial tour). Originally written in 1997, but revised and updated since, its primary intention is as background reading for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in cognitive science and artificial intelligence.
