....much of the emphasis is on building forms resident in computers, which are agents acting in an information domain, there has also been some interest in physical embodiments of artificial creatures. This author, at the MIT Al Lab, introduced the subsumption architecture ( Brooks 86] and extended in [Brooks 90]) with the explicit goal of building mobile robots with long term autonomy. Later the word creature crept into the language of the MIT group (e.g. Connell 87] The goal is to build autonomous mobile robots which operate over long periods of time, completely autonomously, in dynamic worlds. It ....

....other parts of the system. In general it is very dangerous to think that any one component (such as intelligence) can be isolated and studied by itself. Our experience with the subtleties of such interactions has led us to our current construction of a very complex robot, named Attila ( Angle and Brooks 90]) Pictured in figure 1 (in fact we are building multiple copies of Attila) It has six legs, each with three degrees of freedom. an active whisker, a gyro stabilized pan tilt head carrying a range finder and a CCD camera, 10 onboard processors, and over 150 sensors. We built an earlier six legged ....
