Oh Fish,
Which aspect of artificial intelligence were you refering to:
Genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, neural nets, expert systems, grid search or what?
Yes, in my doctorate I did apply a combination of GA and neural nets in my robotic research. it worked quite well really and the intelligence required to apply these concepts were to say the least non-trivial and rather imaginative.
It was a robotic fish which I called Fury, which accidentally flushed down the sewer by my lab assistant.
I'm sure glad i have found you. Thank for the post, I'm just reeling you in!
Maximus Materialize!
