Homeo is a software simulation inspired by W.R. Ashby's Homeostat device as described in his books Design for a Brain and Introduction to Cybernetics.
Homeo includes a simulation of all the components of Ashby's original Homeostat (Units, Uniselectors, etc), plus
- a Gui front-end that allows runnning the interactive manipulation of the simulated device
- Data-logging facilities -Graphing capabilities of the logged data
Homeo extends Ashby's original models to an unlimited number of Homeostatic units, and it generalizes and supplement Ashby's model of a homeostatic unit.
Homeo also includes a robotic component that allows a homeostat to be used as the controller of virtual robots built in robotic simulation software.
