  abstract =     "We have constructed a snake robot with five servos.
                 Our goal was to make the snake move using an
                 evolutionary algorithm. For fitness we attached a mouse
                 by the tail of the snake. We used the
                 {"}30-monkeys-in-a-bus{"} algorithm for selection. It
                 was found possible to develop a forward movement of the
                 snake, however not without problems. One of the biggest
                 problems was to prevent the snake from cheating, which
                 it often did by wagging its tail a lot or by ending in
                 a curled-up position.",
