Hello all, For those of you who don''t know me, my name is Dominic Driver and I am a 4th year student at the University of Reading, England. As part of my degree assessment, it is necessary for me to undertake a research project on a subject of my choice. I have chosen to research artificial entity navigation, and methods in which navigation techniques can be improved. To help me gain opinions in this area, I have prepared a questionnaire to be filled in by people with some knowledge of entity navigation programming. If you feel you would be able to give me a little of your time and experience, please click the URL below: www.reading.ac.uk/~siu99dbd By filling in the questionnaire you are helping me, and, in the long run, helping future developments in navigation programming. The information you give is confidential unless you specify otherwise. The more responses I get, the better understanding of the area I get, and therefore it is more likely that I will get better results from further research. If you could send this URL to anyone you know with an experience of game AI or navigation AI I would be most grateful. Thank you so much for your time and experience, Dominic Driver www.reading.ac.uk/~siu99dbd

I''ll be sure to post the link on my site forthwith, Dominic! Interesting survey...I hope the responses are helpful!

Sorry I haven''t posted for a while, I''m a busy bunny at the moment. It''s not easy changing the face of AI programming singlehandedly!

I''d like to thank everyone who''s answered the questionnaire so far, and everyone who''s just about to click the link and go there now.

I''d also like to thank those of you who''re on the verge of emailing the link to everyone in your address books in order to get more responses for me; your generosity is most appreciated!

Has anyone ever heard of Stochastic Diffusion Searches? They''re probably going to make a cameo somewhere in my project. If you''re interested, I can fill you in with a bit more info....

Special thanks to ferretman for the mention on his site - spread the word!!

Oh yeah, before I forget, did I mention that I had a questionnaire for you to fill out...?


Arf!

Hello Chaps!

An Uber fast post this time to quickly say a further thank you to everyone who''s filled in my questionnaire since my last message.

I''m still working on a model of a differential drive robot for a separate assignment - will my workload never get any smaller?

Speak to you in a bit,

Thanks for the continued support

Dom
