Learning the Light Following Behavior

In this video, the robot begins with a random 2x2 neural network for controlling the motors based on the values of two light sensors mounted on the front. A supervised learning algorithm (delta rule) is used to train the network by using a known solution as a teacher 5 times per second. At the beginning of the video, you can see that the robot turns away from the light and even goes backward. However, within 10-15 seconds, the network is already trained sufficiently to follow the light beam.
