Abstract
The paper sketches the introduction of heterogeneity into a robotic multiagent system. The system is based on ideas from artificial life; it forms a kind of artificial ecosystem where the animats are linked together in their search for “food” in the form of electrical energy. Within this view, different robot types can be seen as different species
