It is a RC toy car controlled by a Backpropagation Neural Network installed in a standard personal computer. The car
has built on it a little system which main task is to measure distances from objects around the car. This
measuresments are done by a Polaroid 6500 Series Sonar
Ranging Module and sent back to the computer by a RF
transmitter. The information transmitted to the computer
is introduced by the parallel port and used as the inputs
to the neural network tutor. The outputs or decisions
made by the net represent the orientation which the car
has to turn to, and is transmitted through the parallel
port to the car with the original remote control brought
by the toy.
This is a self-oriented system capable of learn about
diferent environments.
