Gentlemen,

Welcome to the TinyANN wiki!

Since I discovered Intructables.com, I began to play with Arduino and robotic. From my educational background, I have some knowledge about Artificial Intelligence. So I thought it would be nice to put them together. Little by little, the idea to build a robot, based on some ATTINY processor and programmed using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN), began to blossom in my mind.

When people talks about Artificial Neural Network, one will usually think about some complex technologies which can learn by itself. True, ANN has this property to be trained but at the cost of computation power ATTINY doesn’t have. Yet a Fixed ANN (pre-trained) can be implemented on such tiny processors.

So here we are. I settled for an “Avoiding Collision Type” robot powered by a Fixed ANN. Later on, I planned to add a self-learning module using a Raspberry-Pi to train the ANN implemented here.

Please have a look at the Instructables to build the robot, here.
