From the ALife proceedings:

Autonomous Locomotion, Perception, Behavior, and Learning in a
Simulated Physical World, Artificia Life IV, pp17-27, MIT Press, 1994.

They are from the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto.

Personally I though this was a great project.  Very complex and
very, very realistic (visually in the least.)
