  text: One of the prominent challenges in mobile robotics is to develop control methodologies
    that allow the adaptation to dynamic and unforeseen environments. The classic
    approach of hand-coded controllers is very efficient for well-defined tasks and
    specific environments but poor in adapting to changing environmental conditions.
    One alternative approach is the application of evolutionary algorithms which need,
    in turn, easily evolvable representations of controllers. In this paper, we investigate
    one promising approach of an artificial hormone system as a control paradigm which
    is believed to be easily optimized by evolutionary processes. In a first step
    of this research, we focus on the simple task of collision avoidance. We present
    a brief mathematical analysis of this controller approach and an implementation
    of the controller on a mobile robot to check the feasibility in principle of our
    approach. The task is successfully accomplished and we conclude with a discussion
    of the hormone dynamics in the robot.
