Ragdoll AI

If you don´t know it, just play it...
It´s a 96k demo and very impressive.

Quite impressive indeed
Nice found

Cheers

love it i've been thinking about doing similar stuff with realistic looking characters, but still haven't gotten round to it.

makes for very natural animations

EDIT: hidden part is probably the most fun. i enjoy watching them try to recover.

yep, saw this a while ago on pouet.net .. quite funny

Wow, that's cool, funny and interesting concept I wonder how it is done though

Yes, it looks like they are really drunken.
I think he has written some sort of "balance" AI that rotates and moves the ragdoll parts through forces.
There is a small readme in the folder, you´ve to open it with the editor or a similar programm.

I guess he used a trained neural Net, to balance the bot (let it stand up, walk etc)

Neural net data is very small, but can incorporate complex calculations.

hey, damocles, since you understand that stuff, go go go and create one for us, please

I guess that's really complicated video with a bug-like creature learning to walk amazed me when i first saw it, and that one is even more impressive

NICE realy, but I cant understand how does it work..

Amazing!
@ Shadow969, Do you still have that link?

If someone can create me a sumoringer with physics, where I can manipulate the
"ragdollfigure" with forces, I can write a neural net AI to make it move.
