Robot Forth

Hi Group,



I'm a complete idiot when it comes to Forth. However, I do know Forth is fun, so I have been learning Forth & dabbling with it for over 20 years (more off than on).... Is there currently a commercial / toy Robot that can easily be programmed in Forth ? (for learning purposes... no other)...



I'm struggling to find software / hardware in Forth which is current and alive / supported / used etc !



Thanks, Roland Bristol, UK



P.S I have used Zx Spectrum Forth (emulated & non), Quartus on the Palm, Lego Mindstorm pbForth and Swiftforth..... I'm hungry for something else to do with Forth (so I just bought iForth for no particular reason)... anyone got any bright ideas that I can get into ?

in JavaScript for Microsoft Internet Explorer is a tutorial AI Mind that lets you graphically observe spreading activation from concept to concept in the AI neural net.

Isn't iForth by Marcel Hendrix moving to a 64-bit release?

makes a case for Forth being the preeminent language of choice for artificial intelligence and intelligent robotics.

I've played with that... I also played with Eliza, which was supposedly named after the authors pet dog because it was so stupid. Eliza seems to give more alive-seeming responses.

The original Eliza was named for Miss Doolittle.

No, Doolittle was the name of the professor, I seem to remember from pre-assembler days, memory being expensive in those days.

You might be thinking of Doctor Dolittle, who talked to animals. Rex Harrison portrayed both Henry Higgins and Doctor Dolittle in movies.
