- 13 September 1991
The relationship to traditional academic robotics and traditional artificial intelligence is examined and the use of representations, expectations, plans, goals, and learning is demonstrated, but without resorting to the traditional uses of central, abstractly manipulable or symbolic representations.

This chapter gives a background on the methodology that the authors have used in investigations, highlights the research issues that have been raised during this project, and provides a summary of both the current state of the project and the long-term goals.
A Robot that Walks; Emergent Behaviors from a Carefully Evolved Network
- R. Brooks
- Computer ScienceNeural Computation
- 1 February 1989
This paper suggests one possible mechanism for analagous robot evolution by describing a carefully designed series of networks, each one being a strict augmentation of the previous one, which control a six-legged walking machine capable of walking over rough terrain and following a person passively sensed in the infrared spectrum.
Artificial Life and Real Robots
- R. Brooks
- Computer Science
- 1992
A new abstraction for behavior-based robot programming which is specially tailored to be used with genetic programming techniques is introduced, which will be necessary to automatically evolve programs that are one to two orders of magnitude more complex than those previously reported in any domain.
Solving the find-path problem by good representation of free space

- MathematicsIEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics
- 18 August 1982
An algorithm is presented which efficiently finds good collision-free paths for convex polygonal bodies through space littered with obstacle polygons by characterizing the volume swept by a body as it is translated and rotated as a generalized cone.
