Neuro-Evolving Robotic Operatives For Linux

Neuro-Evolving Robotic Operatives project, or NERO for short, is a unique computer game that lets you play with adapting intelligent agents hands-on. Evolve your own robot army by tuning their artificial brains for challenging tasks, then pit them against your friends' teams in online competitions!

NERO is an active research project run almost entirely by students. It uses the real-time NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (rtNEAT) algorithm created by Ken Stanley during his PhD work at UT Austin. The NERO project is a collaboration of the Department of Computer Sciences and the Digital Media Collaboratory at the University of Texas at Austin.
