Behavior-based robotics

Behavior-based robotics is a type of robotics that focuses on having robots behave in certain ways as if they are living things. This type of robotics makes robots act like animals and humans, by having them respond to different stimuli and even learn from experience. For example, a behavior-based robot might be programmed to follow a line that it can detect with its sensors, or even interact with people in a socially acceptable way. These robots can help us do things like automate factories and tasks, help us in our homes, and even explore and help us learn more about the world.
