In this paper we suggest an action selection and behavior arbitration scheme for autonomous robots, called AASBA (for "affective action selection and behavior arbitration"), which uses affective states to select the robot's behavior at any given time and pass control from the currently active behavior to the newly selected one. AASBA views action selection and behavior arbitration as an integra...

this study aimed to identify and test expectancy motivational model as a theoretical framework to explain the reasons motivating expected information consumer’s behavior for the selection and use of document delivery services of shahid chamran university, ahvaz. in this study, explanatory survey method was used. in order to test the hypotheses and analysis of model’s data, covariance structural...

This paper presents a bio-inspired two-layer architecture that employs a context-dependent “structure control” mechanism for autonomous robotic agents to achieve adaptive behaviors in dynamic physical-social environments. In this architecture, the bottom layer is an asymmetry mutual inhibition behavior network where different behaviors inhibit each other for behavior selection. The top “behavio...

Artificial selection has produced populations of Drosophila melanogaster which show either positive or negative phototactic behavior. Selection was carried out in the presence of various marked multiple inversions used to suppress genetic recombination. Reciprocal hybridizations between photopositive and photonegative populations of flies have revealed the X chromosome of D. melanogaster to be ...

Habitat selection behavior is an important predator-avoidance strategy for many organisms. Its particular expression is often explained as the result of a tradeoff between avoiding antagonists and acquiring resources. However, there is need for a broader perspective on this behavior, as organisms are often simultaneously involved in complex antagonistic relationships with multiple types of enem...

The motivation of this paper is to realize an energy-driven self-organising architecture of Social Behaviour Networks(SoBeNet) for the Web application. Internet agents can sense changes in the web environment via virtual web sensors and behavior selection is based on the energy spreading mechanism from the bottom-up paradigm of AI. There is no global coordinator module to control behavior selec...

In this paper, we review the bio-inspired Artificial Immune System (AIS) using two detection and selection mechanism known as negative selection and clonal selections. AIS mimic the behavior of natural immune system to find the unknown pattern that have not been seen by the system similar to what bodies would do in facing the microbial entities. We simulate the behavior of negative selection an...

Voluntary physical activity may be related to personality traits. Here, we investigated these relations in two mouse lines selectively bred for high voluntary wheel-running behavior and in one non-selected control line. Selection lines were more explorative and "information gathering" in the open-field test, either with increased upright positions or horizontal locomotion toward the middle ring...
