CMAC - Neural Network

Overview

This project implements the Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller (CMAC) described by James Albus in 1975. CMAC is a type of neural network based on the mammalian cerebellum.

Dependencies

• Python3
• Python3-tk
• Python3 Libraries: Numpy and Matplotlib

Install Dependencies

• Install Python3, Python3-tk, and the necessary libraries: (if not already installed)

sudo apt install python3 python3-tk
pip3 install numpy matplotlib

• Check if your system successfully installed all the dependencies
• Open terminal using Ctrl+Alt+T and enter python3
• The terminal should now present a new area represented by >>> to enter python commands
• Now use the following commands to check libraries: (Exit python window using Ctrl+Z if an error pops up while running the below commands)

import tkinter
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Run

• Using the terminal, clone this repository, go into the project directory, and run the main program:

git clone https://github.com/urastogi885/cmac-neural-network
cd cmac-neural-network
python3 main.py

• The program launches 8 plots: next one will pop up once you close the current one
• Alternatively, if you work with the PyCharm editor, you can add this project to the PyCharm workspace and run the main.py program through the editor.
• The advantage of using PyCharm in this project is that you will be able to access all the plots.
