The robots evaluate only two forward and two backward looking infrared sensor signals. Fast converging genetic training algorithms are applied to train the robots to move straight in six directions. The robots performed successfully within an obstacle environment and there could be observed a never trained useful interaction between each of the single robots. The paper describes the robot systems and presents the test results. Video clips are downloadable under www.inform.fh-hannover.de/download/lechner.php.
