Neurorobot examples using Webots

These examples illustrate concepts discussed in the book “Neurorobotics: Connecting the Brain, Body and Environment.” Tiffany Hwu and Jeff Krichmar, Cambridge, MA, MIT Press. The examples use the Webots robot simulator (https://cyberbotics.com/).

1. Braitenberg vehicles 2 and 3.
2. Bee navigation by balancing the flow across the left and right distance sensors.
3. Conditioning using Rescorla Wagner learning to tie value to different colors.
4. Double T maze navigation using Q learning.
5. Event-driven action selection.
6. Solving the Morris Water Maze using temporal difference learning.

All controllers were written in Python except for the Morris water maze, which was written in C.
