A behaviour-based robot is a purposeful and robust machine that operates in, and directly interacts with the environment. The design of a behavior-based robot bounds uncertainty of the real world local to a given task-achieving behavior. Each behavior has a known competence for robust and reliable operation in a specific real world context. Task-achieving behaviors collectively interact via the surrounding environment to produce the purposeful behavior. This paper describes a very small, legged robotic system, called herein the Mars Micro-Rover, to serve as a testbed to evaluate the performance potential of small legged robotic systems and their control architectures. A simple, biologically-inspired oscillatory network controls gait modulation based on environmental influences. A recurrent cyclic inhibition is chosen to generate a four-phasic pattern for Micro-Rover locomotion.
