Distributed real time neural networks in interactive complex systems

In this paper, we present two graphical softwares which help the modeling and the simulation of real time, distributed neural networks (NNs). Used in the frame of the development of control architectures for autonomous robots, these softwares allow a real time control and an on-line learning of different behaviors. We present as an illustration two control architectures: the first one allowing a mobile robot to navigate using on-line learning of visual places, and the second one allowing a robotic head to learn to express a given set of emotions during imitation games.
