....cial adaptive behaviors. In particular, an animat certainly has a long way to go before it might be taken for an animal, in any sort of Turing like test that may be invented in future. Several applications of dynamical systems theory to animat design were mentioned above (e.g. BEER96, NEVE96, JAEG98, RYLA98, MENZ00) whose authors seem convinced that this approach will scale with more complex behaviors and survival problems. Likewise, although Aubin s viability theory has just been introduced to the SAB community (AUBI00) it appears in our opinion to be too closely related to animat ....

....bifurcations on each other. DD restricts these couplings, resulting in an overall system performance that is transparent although subsystems undergo bifurcations. This transparency allows to design and debug complex behavior systems. Ample expe rience exists in using DD for robot control, e.g. [5], and a DD programming language called PDL [14, 13] as well as teaching material for DD PDL [12] are available. In general, DD behavior systems are hierarchic, with comprehensive, long term behaviors (such as work or replenish enery) at higher levels and elementary, short term behaviors (like ....

....autonomous mobile robots. It has grown from three roots: the behaviorbased approach to robotics, the dynamical systems approach to cognition, and the mathematical theory of selforganizing dynamical systems. Discussions of these foundational topics can be found in [ Jaeger and Christaller, 1998] Jaeger, 1998][ Jaeger, 1997 ] In the present article we concentrate on the mathematical and technical aspects of DD. Behaviors are formalized as dynamical systems, using ordinary di#erential equations (ODEs) These dynamical systems interact through shared variables and certain control relations, yielding ....
