@@Dingus_Labs you could let it run at a stuffed speed but have some form of fps counter that allows you to run a seperate code that auto edits the speed of your recording to make it run at a normal speed, then you could just have the amount of agents that makes the fastest training speed (cos if you have to many then the speed would go so low that it would overall go slower) but this is just a dum idea so yea, but it could get rid of those freezes that happen every now and then (you could also just run it at a lowered speed that it wont go below and again, use editing to make it ALL faster to look normal)

Yeah this is a solo operation (or at least it is on the day of this comment) And yeah it's a bit of a process, has been a good learning experience though!
Dingus becomes a taxi driver: Dingus is in taxi, and there are randomly placed passengers that he has to pull to, wait for them to get in taxi and then drive to their randomly chosen destinations.
Man dingus has lived such a full life, I mean the little dude has gone from being a Sisyphus to like a big time cat burglar then going on to be a security guard and now he's even forklift certified
Good job Dingus! I think it would also be interesting if you gave a quick explanation on what data you give Dingus to work with especially when it's something more unique like a forklift, like: How does he know if he has a create in the first place? How does he see the ground around him? Does he know the difference between the floor and a boulder, if so, how? Etc..
I know that the “rewards” given to dingus are just like telling it “good job” or something but I like to imagine that you give dingus a cookie behind the scenes when he does something right
I've been working for The Incredibly Dangerous Warehouse for 25 years now. While I was working, I lost my arm, my house, and my wife. This job is all I have left and I am NOT going to let Dingus take it without a fight!
You wake up on a blank platform floating through a meaningless void. All you have is a forklift, three boxes, and shelves. You take a while to look around and try to find out where you are and what is happening. After a while of searching for anything you could come by, you fall asleep. You wake up. Perhaps it was a strange dream? Again, though, you find yourself lying on a meaningless island in a bottomless void. You find yourself curious, and start throwing things off the edge to see how high you are . . . but they just keep falling. The next day(? You really can’t be sure) you notice that everything has returned to where you found it. Strange. After a bit more curiosity, you decide to get brave and start poking around the sides. Big mistake. You misstep, catching your foot and falling. You mentally prepare for the worst. But strangely, you wake up once again. Everything is back where you found it. “Really?” you ask. With your newfound sense of courage, you work yourself up and jump off the ledge. But strangely, you wake up once again. Everything is back where you found it. Clearly, this will be more difficult than you thought. You gather yourself and take note of your surroundings . . . which isn’t much. You look to the forklift; “Hell. Not like there’s anything else to do.” You get in, turn the key, and-to your surprise-the engine kicks into action. You test your new wheels. Suddenly, the voice of God bellows down, “Excellent.” You feel strangely refreshed and satisfied. With that, you decide to go to bed, oddly excited for tomorrow. You wake up once again. Everything is back where you found it. You get back into your forklift. Suddenly, the voice of God bellows down, “Excellent.” You feel strangely refreshed and satisfied. You get even more curious. You drive towards a box, and again you feel replenished. This must be good. But before you can do much more, you fall asleep. For months, you learn more about your cruel God and what He wants of you. Every day you move the boxes to the shelves, only for them to return to their original places the very next day. However, every night you go to bed satisfied and content. You know what you are supposed to do, and you’re getting pretty good at it. One day, everything is different. You wake up and run to your forklift, when you see something amazing: your new home has changed. At first you are thrilled for a new job. But you look around and notice three boxes, the shelves, and a precarious tightrope separating them from you. Your cruel Deity laughs. You must stock the shelves. It is all you have.
I would say driving with the forks all the way up always shouldn't be the optimal score. But rather some concept of load stability multiplied by lift height combined perhaps, the only times he completes the last level is a lucky tumble and recovery, but if he'd kept control of the load the whole time he would have a higher score if he learns to drop it to a safe height to maintain the carry. What if there are specified 'height' zones he needs to carry it over or the box gets deleted?
Hi, i just want to say your videos are amazing and i would love to know how you do it, like, how much does it take to create one of the dingus ai's, also, would love it if you made a discord which allowed you and your viewers to talk about ai's and making them ext, anyway, love your vids :D
Dingus learning things with commentary is fantastic, one of my favourite ai videos is hide and seek maybe you could do that next! Or tag let dingus have some time off from all these hard tasks haha
@@Dingus_Labs this is just a suggestion for the twist you want, you could have seeker dingus and hider dingus’s but they are mixed in with a bunch of essentially npcs walking around, the hiders would have little hiding spots (like trash cans or bushes) but also they have to do tasks around town while being hunted by the seeker (seeker could be 1 or more depending on how big you would go with it) the tasks they do would make them obvious to spot so they would have learn when it’s safe etc but they have a time limit so they can’t delay forever. Could be interesting obviously needs a lot more detail but that’s a rough idea just to help out ^^ but I’m sure whatever you do will be incredible!! Not sure this is possible or not but just wanted to help out
I just wanted to say that my boyfriend and I adore you and Dingus. I’m a PhD student who does a lot of coding and we’ve taken to naming wonky coding some variation on “Dingus” in the little cube’s honor. Current headache is my ongoing solution to my 11th homework in the class, aptly named “Elevengus.” I hope I have time to catch a stream sometime!
Maybe Dingus should do something with ladders or elevators. He’s done different things that include going up at an angle with stairs and ramps and now moving other things straight up. Maybe him moving straight up would be a change?
Haven't watched the whole video, but I wonder if Dingus was placing the boxes on the upper path at around 7:00 because Dingus associated higher-elevation with the actual goal? So it saw "Higher place = Score?" and kept doing that, confused when it wasn't getting any score?
That one is odd, my gut says it wouldn't get confused about that because the actual shelf area is tagged differently, so Dingus should not associate the elavated area with the shelf area. On the other hand, he did mess with it for ages so something is up there!
@@Dingus_Labs Even if it's tagged differently, maybe it's associating the actual action of moving the box to the upper ledge as a "Good" thing, and not catching the part about it being tagged differently?
When you went to make it harder, I thought you were going to add sorting. Can we make Dingus recognize that green crates need to go in the green area, red in the red, etc?
on the second enviromnent, the only explanation is that the a.i got used to spin entirely before locking in on the objective, that it passed to the next generation of the neural system. i know i may be talking nothing with nothing but if you realize well, on the first enviroment when 'dingus' were lifting a crate + it back were towards to the objective line, he would fully clockwise spin even if spinning conter clockwise would be quickier, 5:45 you see as he lifts that crate, he turns at same time, when he finishes lifting he turned way too much, probably he got confused when realized he turned too much + now possessing fully the crate, so he SPINS aaaall again to position himself and then start doing the shenaningans as usual.
I was quite upset to find the complete lack of graphs in this video. This is most defintly a sad sight, as your other video did indeed include graphs of the training. I would be most grateful if you could endulge my selfish desires and add more graphs.
you should make one where dingus has to learn to drive but instead of changing gears wrong just meaning the car has a hissy fit it just outright blows up
Would be interesting to see Dingus navigate around obstacles like shelves and moving humans. Also, a bit more beautiful scenery would go a long way, make a room around the level instead of just the skybox!
I think it would be fun to see dingus with some even more restrictive negative rewards like no dropping above a certain velocity or avoiding people and edges.
I don't understand. There don't seem to be generations and training time is displayed. Are the parameters updated on the go? How was the initial neural network formed and trained?
Is it better to have rewards that are scalar values that change with distance, or threshold values that are fixed? I'm fine tuning a TD3 framework to make a 2D blue square run from a green square within a fixed area, so it needs to learn to run in large circles.
Frankly I'm not an expert, I wouldn't be confident advising on what is better. My approach to most things is to just get as scrappy an implementation out as quick as possible and see how things are working how I'd hoped, then tweak and reactor code if I'm getting the sort of results I'd hoped, or scrap it and try other approaches.
This one definitely overfits I think, it would likely be hopeless with previous levels. If I approached it with a bunch of different "warehouses" and randomised between them there would be a better chance of generalised learning. I want to revisit this one in the future with a few changes, actual tires, more open warehouses etc!
I love this video. I just wished you'd have made the wheels a factor. I think it bugged me he could still drive 100% with only two wheels. I understand it's harder to code because just one simple body is easiest, but still.
I hedged on that, spent a while wondering if I should have made proper wheels. Will likely revisit that idea though because I've got a few vehicle based ideas I definitely want to explore.
Dude went from criminal, to a low end job, to an honest job. I see Dingus is moving up in the world

Don't forget, he escaped hell.
dingus is dumb, maybe we need him to take care of a family for him to be smarter

“And he can operate a forklift.”
“That’s all I need to know. He’s hired.”
The falling boulders are obviously coming from the dingus boulder training area, which happens to be located above the warehouse.
Good job Dingus!

Dingus got his forklift certification! Congratulations little dude!
UwU the dingus will take over soon after the Durgon uprising

I love these 'ai learns' type channels. Always fun to see what they come up with next.

Oh no, my career is over, AI will take all of our jobs in insanely dangerous and ethically questionable warehouses.
Fellow dingus here, I can say that I too am forklift certified
Need a metadingus that analyzes a situation and chooses a previously made dingus to attempt to complete it.
metadingus is a powerful title
Those later warehouses could face charges of OSHA violations.

DINGUS VS. BACKROOM
i have become an AI cube with a forklift... i approve
dingus got hired by amazon? dang, rest in piece.
But is it possible to apply the rewards in the middle of the run, not waiting for a round to wait?
idea: make Dingus drive a semi truck across a city without breaking any laws or crashing
Do the runs loop back? I think it would be interesting to see how he handles the first stage after dealing with everything else
