in my research I've not found any projects using Soar for real work. Specifically, I'm interested in real, mechanical robots using Soar as opposed to any other language. suggestions?
And, what distinguishes Soar from Clips/Jess? -- they both use the Rete algorithm and seem quite similar. Jess seems quite popular, and is written in Java so is moderately portable.
The automatic learning feature, chunking, sounds really cool though. I've recently purchased How to Build Your Own Self-Programming Robot" by David L. Heiserman which talks about three different types of "brains" -- ceck out a summary at http://tnewton.solarbotics.net/robot1.html
notwitstanding, fitting a blobby AI language into a teensy Lego Mindstorms robot is very cool!
