Abstract

Artificial neural networks are often used as the control systems for mobile robots. However, although these models usually claim inspiration from biology, they often lack an analogue of the biological phenomenon called neuromodulation. In this paper, we describe our initial work exploring a simple model of neuromodulation, used to provide a mobile robot with foraging behaviour.
