Abstract
Formal models of animal sensorimotor behavior can
provide effective methods for generating robotic intelligence. In this paper we describe how schema-theoretic
models of the praying mantis are implemented on a
hexapod robot equipped with a real-time color vision
system. The model upon which the implementation
is based was developed by ethologists studying mantids. This implementation incorporates a wide range
of behaviors, including obstacle avoidance, prey acquisition, predator avoidance, mating, and chantlitaxia
behaviors.
