Abstract: Biologically inspired method of formation of searching behavior is proposed. The method uses the concept of motivation that regulates switching between tactics of searching behavior. Dynamics of motivation includes inertial, stochastic and directed variations of motivation. Possibility of using the proposed method for function minimization is demonstrated. The method can be used for a formation of searching behavior of autonomous systems, such as mobile robots.

Keywords: searching behavior, function minimization, motivation, autonomous systems.
