....symbolic AI call to build whole systems see [30] The Animats approach [50] is to start with simple whole creatures and work up gradually to more complex whole creatures. But as the complexity scales up, it cannot avoid the question of whether one lab can really do it all. Perhaps the Cog project [6, 7] is now beginning to hit those limits. The evolutionary approach is to say that control systems are too hard to design and must be evolved [17] In practice this has also usually seemed to share with the animat approach an implicit assumption that one lab can do it all. It seems to me that all ....

....trends focus on aspects like interaction, locomotion and adaptation. Moreover, it was suggested that artificial creatures should be built in an evolutionary manner, whereby primitive tasks and behaviors are built first, followed by additions of increasingly more complex abilities and behaviors [Broo97] Among the very first behaviors in this scale is the ability for safe locomotion and navigation in the real world, which is so interwoven with our everyday life that rarely attracts our attention. Even animals of all species and size have developed this ability far beyond what most robots can ....

....virtual reality, human computer interaction, sensors, tele operation 1 Introduction In recent years, mobile robots gained more and more autonomy. Technology is moving away from toy like robots towards big machines doing service tasks in human populated environments like factories or of rices [1]. Most of these service robots are not fully autonomous. Although their jobs usually are simple transportation tasks, they still have to rely on human aid or can not move freely but are bound to tracks. Examples for partially autonomous robots are Helpmate [2] serving in hospitals, Mortimer [4] ....

....Only attempts at practically realizing higher level intelligence can provide answers to these questions, as several projects on humanoid robots, such as Cog (Brooks and Stein, 1994) intend to do. This attempt has led to a second shift in viewpoint, from behaviour based to cognitive robotics (Brooks, 1997) that has different concerns at many levels. Early behaviour based AI was too much of a reaction against deliberative planning systems, and therefore remained to a great extent at the same level of abstraction, not fully suited to realize other kinds of tasks. Contrary to early behaviour based ....

....sensory and motor skills. Another important reason is that service robots have to interact and to communicate with humans by different means, from touch and gestures to speech. If a robot has a humanoid form and exhibits human like behavior, humans are able to interact in a more natural way [Brooks 1996]. Also, humanoid size and shape can be advantageous for the representation of knowledge of the environment, because the robot can develop human like sorts of representations [Johnson 1987] 1.2 Requirements for the robot HERMES The combination of autonomous navigation with skillful manipulation ....

....chunking , is limited to storing problem solving experiences for future use. Neo, on the other hand, attempts to build structures that will help it explain its environment. Brooks Cog project has a lot in common with Neo, both in motivation and general design principles (Brooks Stein 1993; Brooks 1996). He views cooccurrence of events as key to learning, and emphasizes the importance of embodiment for the emergence of human like behavior and conceptual knowledge. We differ from Brooks, however, in that we do not feel that a physical embodiment as opposed to simulation is absolutely ....
