Zusammenfassung:Abstract: "The simulation of animal behaviour on a mobile robot is a useful undertaking for roboticists wishing to develop robots for non- predictable domains or with more generality of application than is currently possible. It can also be valuable to ethologists, as a means of testing theories of animal behaviour in a modular manner, repeatably, and with identically 'naive' subjects. Not all tasks we would like robots to undertake require high standards of accuracy, repeatability or even reliability. Some require more in the way of adaptability, flexibility of approach and robustness
Given the disparate nature of these requirements and the variety of ways in which some of these words are used, it is not always obvious what is the answer to questions such as: how can these requirements be met? how can the results be measured? how can the performance of different robots be compared? The first question requires answers which are specific to the individual robot and the preferred style of its designer and user. The second and third questions are better answered in a more general way which does not depend so much on the particular robot, environment or task. We address the second and third questions here. First we briefly mention some of the benifits of trying to get a robot to behave, in some senses, like an animal. Then we outline some of the fundamental capabilities of animals and examine the extent to which these capabilities are available on present-day robots. This provides a mapping between robot and animal capabilities
We then present a list of capabilities which we consider are probably essential to general autonomy, and consider how the headings could be met with current technology. This is given as an aid to designers of robots for tasks requiring adaptability, flexibility of approach and robustness; and also as a standard against which existing robots can be contrasted and compared. It should be noted that we expect this minimal standard to be revised in the light of advances in robot technology and programming.
