FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Charleston SC July 17, 2003 -- ROACH v1.2 is a computer game for your desktop that can be configured by the user to think from the level of an ant to the level of a roach. As a ‘virtual’ robot, ROACH can be observed to display the characteristics of real insects by varying the depths of memory and recall ratios.

With monitoring (trace) ability, the program ROACH, provides visual indicators of input and thinking processes in real time. ROACH is a demonstration program with limited long-term memory and resets memory with each new game.

About Roach:

As a true intelligent software agent, ROACH displays contemplation, memory, other-awareness and reactive and proactive behavior. ROACH is programmed in APE: Architectural Programming Environment, a protocol for use in any programming language.

ROACH is provided to replicate the range of levels of the intelligence of insects and is the same algorithm and architecture used in the “Little Ricci” prototype autonomous robot.
