A friend recently told me about a robot that learned to walk using 
neural networks but, alas, he could not remember who did the experiment
or where.  First I would like to know whether anyone knows anything 
about that experiment and second, I am generally interested in neural nets
as applied to control and behaviour generation in autonomous robots.
I have seen papers that apply supervised learning techniques but I am
particularly interested in unsupervised or self-organizing network
applications.  I would appreciate any references to papers, experiments, 
or research groups related to applying self-organizing networks to 
autonomous robots research.

Thanks - appreciate it,
