System-Level Cognitive Modeling with Ikaros
The goal of the Ikaros project is to develop an open infrastructure for system-level cognitive modelling. This includes system-level models of the brain, but also cognitive models that are not directly motivated by brain function. The article describes the background for the project and the
details of the Ikaros system.
Map-making Robots: A Review of the Occupancy Grid Map Algorithm
Rasmus Arnling Bååth describes how grid maps can be implemented in Ikaros. The occupancy grid map algorithm was implemented and a number of experiments were conducted to investigate how it would perform given different types of sensor noise.
The Brain Database - A Proof of Concept
To what extent can ideas and techniques from the semantic web be used for testing cognitive models against neuroscientific data? In this article, Marie Gustafsson describes a first attempt to use semantic web techniques for validation of computational brain models.
What's New
Ikaros 1.3 Released
November 11, 2011
The newest version of Ikaros was released today. It is the tenth public distribution of the Ikaros kernel together with a number of functional modules. This version is mainly intended for potential developers and not for more general use. The version includes more than 100 bug fixes and additions. The current distribution includes versions for OS X, Linux and Windows.
The Ikaros Web UI is now complete and supports hierarchical views of all running modules. There are 16 different graphical object that can be used to monitor processes and three new controls (buttons, sliders and switches) that can be used to interact with Ikaros while it is running. The responsiveness of the WebUI is much improved and can now also operate when Ikaros is run in real-time mode. Many modules have default views that makes it possible to view their outputs without defining any additional views.
Ikaros 1.3 includes 88 standard modules implementing various learning algorithms and neural network models as well as I/O and robot control algorithms. Most of these have been thoroughly polished and include example ikc-files.
The web site has been updated to show the latest documentation for all modules and APIs.
