Mindstorms -- programming with leJOS
One of the coolest parts of leJOS is a set of classes for controlling behavior
Actions are based on "behavior control" systems, which model AI control after insects rather than large data models of the world.
Insects do OK without a large amount of memory -- so how do they deal with varying conditions?
By using lots of simple behaviors which can be combined to create complex behaviors.
This concept can be translated to computers by using inputs (sensors) and outputs (actuator)
