What is this?
Roboverse is a physical artificial intelligence simulation. The environment supports rigid body physical simulation of wheeled and legged robots with default algorithms for handling the basic reactive control layers to move from one location to another by straight line, to observe objects in the local neighborhood of the robot's 2D position, to pick up, translate and rotate objects by using a servo interface. Higher level cognitive functions, such as speech and social problem solving were developed as part of a cognitive architecture developed by Push Singh, the Emotion Machine v1.0 (EM-1). A video of Push's robots performing a social problem solving task of building a table is here.
The walls of the third floor of the MIT Media Lab are pictured above in the Roboverse simulation. The piecewise linear perimeters are stored as separate lines in this text file. Each line of the text file represents one perimeter. Each line is composed of a sequence of x and y coordinates for each vertex of the perimeter. The units of this file are feet.
