Inhaltsangabe

Covering multiple techniques and featuring hands-on examples for practical application of AI in robotics, games, and the Web -- complete with plenty of sample Java code, this book is great for game and applications programmers, robotic hobbyists, and artificial intelligence enthusiasts who want to bypass the heavy-duty math.

* Introduces readers to the techniques of AI, then uses Java to fully illustrate them
* Heavy emphasis on "simulated intelligence" -- the biologically inspired forms of AI
* Sample problems include: balancing an inverted pole, predator/prey simulations, text interaction with humans (online tutorials, help desk, etc.)
* Includes Java code that can be used in a host of areas such as games, robotics, web agents, etc.

LEARN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WITH DO-IT-YOURSELF PROJECTS

Edwin Wise’' Hands-On AI with Java shows you how to put AI techniques to work in a wide variety of useful and entertaining ways.

Robot builders, hobbyists, game developers, automated-help-desk programmers, and even manufacturing engineers can take advantage of Wise’s clear explanations and generous samples of customizable Java code. This book shows you how to:

* Give computer game characters role-playing and decision-making skills
* Simulate evolution to find solutions to hard problems
* Develop machine-to-human text interactions for help desks, adventure games, computerized tutorials, and Web agents
* Guide machine tools for intelligent behavior, such as tool-path optimization and efficient sheet utilization
* Teach your computer to play strategy games
* Solve control problems, including the classic inverted-pole problem

With its own helpful Web site (and an author who answers e-mails), Hands-On AI with Java is the perfect starting point in artificial intelligence.
