Abstract
Recently, autonomous robots which are designed on the basis of biological mechanism have attracted much attention. In this paper, we focus on the mechanism of timing control studied by ecological psychology, and apply the framework to timing control of a mobile robot. Experiments using real robots have been conducted and effective behaviors have been realized.
