Behind the Scenes: IQ Zero Genetic Algorithm Robots Long Update Talk and Thoughts
Channel: DronesoundTV
Date: 20/12/2016

A long-overdue update on the IQ Zero Genetic Algorithm robotics project, which I for some reason did here on DronesoundTV. I talk about the basic design (covered elsewhere), and challenges of involving the PI Zero, plus a long discussion of some important new discoveries.
