About the Canuck

Darkcanuck is Jerome Lavigne, a mid-thirties consulting engineer living in Vancouver BC (Canada). I'm not a hardcore programmer but I do specialize in manufacturing automation and control systems, which rely heavily on software. I'm fascinated by robots, whether real or virtual.

Projects

• Darkcanuck/RRServer - a new RoboRumble server which seems to eat up all of my bot-programming time

Bots

I'm interested in AI techniques which focus on learning and adaptation rather than creating bots based on statistical methods. We'll see how that works out.

• Leon - Melee bot using a neural network for targeting, reinforcement learning for movement.
• Gaff - 1on1 bot with a simple movement strategy and an array of neural nets for GF-style targeting.
• Pris - 1on1 bot using reinforcement learning for movement and Gaff's neural targeting.
• Holden - 1on1 Wave Surfing bot with Gaff's neural targeting.
• B26354 - Melee bot derived from Holden + Gaff with some minimum risk movement thrown in.
