title: Thinking Adaptive: Towards a Behaviours Virtual
ispublished: pub
subjects: comp-sci-robot

keywords: virtual laboratory, action selection mechanism, animats
abstract: In this paper we name some of the advantages of
virtual laboratories; and propose that a Behaviours
Virtual Laboratory should be useful for both biologists
and AI researchers, offering a new perspective for
understanding adaptive behaviour. We present our
development of a Behaviours Virtual Laboratory, which
at this stage is focused in action selection, and show
some experiments to illustrate the properties of our
proposal, which can be accessed via Internet.
