Abstract
Behavioral diversity is one of the universal features for all animals but missing in artificial machines. Behavioral diversity enables animals to explore alternative behaviors and avoid to getting stuck in a dead-end situation due to severe environmental changes. Plasmodium of true slime mold (Physarum polycephalum) is one of the splendid models to investigate behavioral diversity of animals. We introduce a constructive approach to understand the versatile and adaptive behaviors of the plasmodium using a simulation model. The results obtained shed a new light on how to design artificial system in ways that allow behavioral diversity and purposeful behavior, e.g., chemotaxis or phototaxis.
