Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Emergent Behavior Mischevious Walker Problems


Here' s one of those things I'm still not sure on. In my opinion the
emmergent behavior is the robot actually walking. Some people interpret it
as the feedback stuff, but I don't belive so. Beyond that, emergent behavior
should encompases anything the robot does that you don't expect it to do. In
other words, it's fancy speak for "Surprises".
