Abstract
This book presents biologically inspired walking machines (four- and six-legged walking machines) interacting with their real environmental stimuli as agent-environment interactions. Different reactive behaviors of animals were investigated for the behavior design of the walking machine(s). On the one hand, the obstacle avoidance behavior, in analogy to the obstacle avoidance and escape behavior of scorpions and cockroaches, was implemented in the walking machines as a negative tropism. On the other hand, the sound tropism which mimics prey capture behavior of spiders is represented as a positive tropism. It was simulated on the four-legged walking machine.
