Amazing article. I am so impressed. Could never think of such a thing is possible with it...I think you have a great  knowledge especially while dealings with such subjects.

This virtual learning environment sounds like something I've been wanting for a while. The bots you have seem nice, but I think it'd be fun to see what I can make on my own. Would I be able to use the environment to embody other AI systems without them being  a part of OpenCog, or would I need to roll my own system for that? That Bomberman Hero music.

I would love to learn more about it.  Well,, great thing to know mapping from RelEx and Wordnet to OpenCog. I would love to learn more about it.

In OpenPsi (the emotion and motivation system), there are demands for "competence" and "certainty". "Certainty" will lead the character to try to understand the state of environment, "competence" will lead to the character trying to get better at influence and predict the result of its actions.

Curiosity in that if there is a new object or button it will go observe it and then depending on what that does it will either ignore, stay away from, be cautious with or use. Maybe even hoard. And with memory then if it sees something it doesn't need at the moment it  would keep a virtual memory map of where it is located and then find it when needed. Those are just a few things I was thinking would be neat. Keep up the great work and good luck. I’m just wondering if curiosity and memory will be added in this project.

We're not interested in trying to deceive people with narrow scripted behaviours. So, saying that, these videos are mostly a demonstration of the virtual world. OpenCog has specialised path-finding algorithms, but these can be constructed as part of a "action plan". So a plan might include an action to "move to the battery cube" (where battery cube is a unique id related to a previously seen object). So we're abstracting actions at a certain level, but not confining OpenCog to only know about certain objects. We can easily add new actions to objects and it's up to OpenCog to detect the patterns of what happens when those actions are initiated. We are building on an older embodiment system that was quite limited in what it could learn. Now a lot of time is being spent on pulling out the old parts and replacing them with general systems.
