Briefly:  As put forward in a OMNI interview 
(way back in Sept.90 or so)
the MIT insect lab has a philosophy of hardwired instinct-
driven robots that don't need a "perfect environment" to 
operate in...A limited set of responses, like an insect, 
determine its behavior, given a mixture of stimuli.

I'm VERY interested in whatever emerges from it.
