title: From reflex to planning: Multimodal versatile complex systems in biorobotics.
abstract: As models of living beings acting in a real world biorobots undergo an accelerated "philogenic" complexification. The first efficient robots performed simple animal behaviours (e.g., those of ants, crickets) and later on isolated elementary behaviours of complex beings. The increasing complexity of the tasks robots are dedicated to is matched by an increasing complexity and versatility of the architectures now supporting conditioning or even elementary planning.
