From Animals to Animats: Second International Conference on the Simulation of Adaptive Behavior

Abstract

This project provided partial support for an international conference on the simulation of adaptive behavior. The conference was held in Honolulu, HI on December 7-11, 1992. It was attended by more than 100 scientists from the US, Europe, and Asia. The main topic of the conference was how to use theories of animal behavior as a guide in the construction of robots and other autonomous agents. Contributors discussed how to develop behavior-based artificial intelligence, perception and motor control, action selection and the structuring of behavioral sequences, cognitive maps and internal world models, learning, evolution and adaptation, and collective behavior.
