Abstract
The technological analog of the model “Rana computatrix” — the construction of flexible robots — constitutes a renewed source of interest in neuroscience. This chapter gives a short overview of goals, problems, and perspectives involved in modeling a relatively simple behavior with respect to the various levels of data structure.
