Last year Tony and Bill posted a challenge to our ASISTM cluster about programming a
GameMaker soccer game with both a human and computer player. I must follow up how this went.
I read on a NASA website that an
orbiting satellite is learning to think for itself. Artificial intelligence still has a long way to go but there is considerable scope towards using it to help us study the Earth or other planets.
I just asked my students the question, if they could program some artificial intelligence into a robot at school or home, what features would they add? .. perhaps turn dripping taps off, clean rubbish dropped outside the canteen or help plants that need a bit of water.
