Real-Time Interactive Learning in the NERO Video Game
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the NeuroEvolving Robotic Operatives (NERO) video game, the player trains a team of virtual robots for combat against other players’ teams. The virtual robots learn in real time through interacting with the player. Since NERO was originally released in June, 2005, it has been downloaded over 50,000 times, appeared on Slashdot, and won several honors. The realtime NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (rtNEAT) method, which can evolve increasingly complex artificial neural networks in real time as a game is being played, drives the robots’ learning, making possible this entirely new genre of video game. The live demo will show how agents in NERO adapt in real time as they interact with the player. In the future, rtNEAT may allow new kinds of educational and training applications through interactive and adapting games.

A major goal for AI is to allow users to interact with agents that learn in real time, making new kinds of interactive simulations, training applications, and digital entertainment possible. This paper describes such a learning technology, called real-time NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (rtNEAT), and describes how rtNEAT was used to build the NeuroEvolving Robotic Operatives (NERO) vid...
متن کاملThe NERO Real-time Video Game
In most modern video games, character behavior is scripted; no matter how many times the player exploits a weakness, that weakness is never repaired. Yet if game characters could learn through interacting with the player, behavior could improve as the game is played, keeping it interesting. This paper introduces the real-time NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (rtNEAT) method for evolving ...
