hi guys, hope you can tell some langguages that work best in making an AI, just a simple AI,

because me and my group are to make our design project with the theme automation, we're thinking of trying to make a robot advertiser, juice maker or a sorter of some sort. And we need a working prototype for the presentation, with hardware and all...

requirement is just it is pc-based,

I'm familliar with Visual Basic and know somethings in masm and turbo C

but I thought that there might be some langguage that could handle the job better,

hope to get suggestions from you...

Moving this to software development.

Yeah! I really would want to know an answer to this question as well. AI is something I want to learn . Im not sure VB is a language that's going to get you to AI.

Take a look at Prolog. And a good introduction book on AI is "Artificial Intelligence by Negnevitsky.

I've checked prolog, it seems a little like clips,

thanks for that info,

I hope more will share their ideas, the AI sofware I'm suppose to make must run our hardware...

Are you gonna control a robot with it? Or I don't udnerstand something...

I've heard Prolog makes AI coding really simple.
You could also use Assembly along with C.

@1lacca


yup, hopefully, but just a simple one and not a bi-peddal, that's why we're trying to find the best langguage that could make are programming life easier....

@born2code
I only know some about assembly and C, I haven't encountered yet using assembly along with C.

do you write a program with C then with assembly, and use those two programs together??
or with a single program containing assembly and C???


your help is greatly appreciated...

The truth is that this really depends on the type of AI that you are interested in. Fuzzy logic lends itself to object oriented languages well. Finite State machines (used in Game AI) also tend to lend themselves nicely to OOP (java, C++, etc).

For the more technical end people tend to lean towards the functional languages:

Classically LISP has been used a great deal. LISP is very good at dealing with textual data such as natural language processing etc.

Prolog (the current language of choice) is based in logic. I believe that you will probably find more information on AI processing in Prolog than any other language.

Scheme is also a popular language for AI.

As long as I am listing functional languages used for AI: There is Mathematica! I personally love Mathematica as it is very close to the mathematical frameworks that often defines what you are working with.

One language I know nothing about but has been big in AI has been SmallTalk. I am not the one to ask about this language, but it has quite a following with the AI researchers.

thanks for the response, I'm currently checking out the languages you have said and trying to understand them, I'm not that good of a programmer so it might not take time before I post here again when something greek comes to me.
