Figure 10. Parameter similarity for the behavior in different environments (Fig.

9). Plotted is the results of a hierarchical clustering based on the difference between the parameters in each of the simulations (averaged over time). For each of the four environments there are three initial poses: Inline graphic (straight upright), Inline graphic and Inline graphic slanted to the front. The parameters for runs in the same environment are clustered together. This supports the observation that the embodiment plays an essential role in the generation of behavior. More importantly the physical conditions are reflected in the parameters and are thus internalized. We used the squared norm of the difference of the absolute values of the matrix elements. The absolute values were used because a common structure in the parameters are rotation matrices and there the same qualitative behavior is obtained with inverted signs. Parameters: Inline graphic, Inline graphic, update frequency 50 Hz.
