Outline
This line of research would like to study new algorithms that are not deterministic. Our Brain is not a deterministic machine. Everytime we do a task, for example to move a ball from point "A" to point "B", we apparently repeat the same moves. Actually we don't ! Everytime we do something, we introduce errors and random variations, even when we repeat the very same task.
It's like the brain generates some random numbers and activate the motors using a sort of Monte Carlo simulation. Our task is to experiments with new kind of algorithms in order to perform general taks in such a non deterministic way. Simulations on the computers and applications with small robots are considered in this research theme.

You can see some video of exercises with NXT "Mindstorm" robots with our students.
