Title:

Braitenberg Simulations as Vehicles of Evolution

   

Authors:

Correy Allen Kowall

   

Abstract:

In this paper, we describe a series of simulations that serve as a verification of the abstract similarity between vehicular and animal navigation. Valentino Braitenberg used this similarity to illustrate that vehicles controlled by very simple biologically inspired circuits, manifest a wonderful diversity of complex animal behaviors. By constructing a series of experiments that are designed around the possibility of interchanging phenomena that affect vehicles or animals, we hope to show that this analogical similarity is a useful tool.
