                         to their own motivation and reasoning. Each robot is an 
                         intelligent agent that perceives the virtual environment via a 
                         simulated vision system and reacts translating or rotating its 
                         body by driving its own wheels. The conception and specification 
                         of the robots and the environment are being done very carefully to 
                         create an open distributed object architecture that could serve as 
                         a testbed freely available and ready to use for testing theories
