Update on AARON

[history1]

Hi! It's been a long time since there was an update on AARON. How is he doing?

[Matthew Rodgers]

Still working on Aaron.  It's now in python and requires an Nvidia Jetson board _or_ Raspberry Pi 4 to run.  Everything is done/working (vision, motor control, speech recognition, reinforcement) except for some catastrophic forgetting issues (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catastrophic_interference) that can be solved with some tricks over the next few days.  It takes 3 days, starting from scratch, to learn to speak english words.  You'll also need an external 1TB hard disk to store the long term memory for training, but the cortex itself is only like 270MB, do you could run without the hard drive if it were already trained.  I'll post a video at some point soon.  Lots of time to work on Aaron now with the coronavirus out there.  What's your interest?

I was certain this project was dead, it had been so long. Glad to hear it is still alive.

It's done! It works as of 7/15/2020.  Videos coming soon.

I've just got an interest in chat bots and have been waiting for the day for a complex chat bot to learn more like those in some sci-fi movies rather than those like many of those cheap ones you would find on chatbots.org. According to reports from you over the years AARON would be more like that, right?

As of now could AARON still run in a typical Windows 10 computer? I'm not one who would like to buy parts for a physical robot.

It's possible that it could run on a typical windows computer.  It depends if you have a quality graphics card (this is used for the neural network training, yes through a graphics card).  An NVIDIA Jetson Nano is about $100 and will be about 20 times faster than a standard computer because it has 128 graphics cores.  You are not required to connect a webcam or motors, or speakers, or a microphone, but then you'll just be typing to it on a black terminal screen.

wow, I'm honestly a bit shocked to be seeing this. I've been keeping tabs on Aaron since 2014 or 2013. Any chance you're able to put up a beta download link for us? The maker space i go to has a Jetson and I'm super excited to try it out! Thanks! 

PS. What happened to the Java version?

Yeah some sort of beta at some point.  Gave up on java after oracle bought it.  The primary point of java, previously, was to allow development and testing to occur on multiple types of systems, in order to get the algorithm working over multi-year development because systems change all the time.  Now, python runs on most everything, the language is easier to deal with, it's faster than the java runtime, and you can run native C in the background from it easily.
