Zusammenfassung:Abstract: "Current research in behaviour-based robotics focuses on the design of behavioural modules in order to achieve flexible robot actions [Arkins, 1989a], [Brooks, 1986]. Appropriate behaviours are designed, tested, modified and finally added to others already existing until the desired robot performance has been achieved. This allows the development of reliable and robust behaviour-based robot controllers. However, as far as research into Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the development of intelligent autonomous systems are concerned, the approach is insufficient. Important questions such as how useful information actually enters an autonomous agent, how adaptive behaviour is generated, and how learning can be achieved are neglected
In this paper it is argued that for the design of intelligent autonomous systems it is important to equip the robot with the ability to create, to test, and to modify its own behaviour on the basis of primitive and acquired motor skills or so-called motor schemas. A generic approach will be presented which enables the robot to 'generalise' from the observation of useful and useless behaviour to new, more general behaviours and to bootstrap itself to the next level of behavioural complexity. The observation of useful and useless behaviour is based on a system of so- called hedonic stimuli which has to be defined for a robot in order to provide a measuring scale
The evolution in the behavioural repertoire of robots is based on the selection of promising candidates and on the duplication of their behavioural repertoire (ethological selection and offspring generation). This way we expect to develop robots well-adapted to their environment as well as to gain insights in the evolution of information processing based on the development of motor and perceptual schemas [Arbib et al., 1987].
