Here are some amazing software projects which warrant being assimilated into MRL !  RESISTANCE IS FUTILE !  

Please add your favorite open source Java project to the list as a comment !

Who's up next ?

Physics & Kinetics

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_(software)  
  demo - of most interest is the Generic Joint Demo http://jbullet.advel.cz/applet 
  I'm interested in find a Kinematics library - this one is more a Physics package, although kinematics would be a subset.   Definately looks great

raver1975: so the next time the robot is in a similar state, it will know what the best action

is

GroG: like subsumption architecture with memory

raver1975: the robot is in a state, and there is a list of actions the robot can take while in that state. The robot leanrs through trial and error, which actions are the best to take when it is in a certain state

raver1975: but if it is holding a small child, and it takes the "eat" action, the robot is rewarded

raver1975: the grids don't have to be robot positions, they are robot "states", and the 4 directions are the 4 "actions" the robot can take in each state. so if the robot is holding poison, and it takes the action "eat", it is bad.

Looking for a 3D simulator + physics engine for WebGL - this one I think combines the bullet engine with its own framework more research needed - http://cjcliffe.github.io/CubicVR.js/cubicvr/samples/vehicle_physics_demo/stunt_track1.html

GUI 2.0 for MRL needs to be based on HTML 5, WebGL & WebSockets !
Above is an amazing demonstration of what can be done with WebGL (http://madebyevan.com/webgl-water/)

Here is a kinect point cloud display demo - http://www.mrdoob.com/lab/javascript/webgl/kinect/

These and many more demos are @ http://www.chromeexperiments.com/

Point Cloud Library PCL - http://pointclouds.org

WebGUI over Smart Phones

The new gui will be web based allowing it to work on any phone, tablet, or computer.  MRL's GUI system is already client / server based - so it will fairly straight forward to make the existing architecture work with a new web base gui view.

To mitigate the differences between different mobile operating systems - phonegap or similar framework will probably be used.
