Abstract

An autonomous robot must show appropriate levels of persistence and opportunism to survive. We address this problem by using a mechanism akin to pleasure that modulates exteroception as a function of need satisfaction, rather than based on
internal deficits and external threats as in previous work. The different context in which the modulating hormone is released has important consequences on persistence and opportunism.
