Fuzzy logic controlled robot simulation

Demo

This is a simulation of a robot controlled by fuzzy logic. It is built in JavaScript and runs in modern browsers, ideally in a machine with a graphics accelerator.

Project dependencies

• jQuery - HTML manipulation and event handling
• Three.js - JavaScript 3D library
• Physijs - Physics plugin for Three.js
• Stats.js - JavaScript performance monitor
• Simplex-noise - Noise generation algorithm

Running local demo

Serve src/ directory

npm i -g static-server
static-server -p 1234 src/
# open localhost:1234
