Paper Abstract:	Anibot stands for Animation Robot. It is a concept we have utilized to do research for A-Life. Anibot has virtual sensors, controllers, and actuators, and it evolves itself to acquire suitable behaviors in a given environment obeying the physics law. The acquired behaviors are visualized as animation short movies. The concept of Anibot is not only applicable as a simulator for A-life but also for mechanical designing. This study aims to model Anibot, establish its environment, and acquire its behavior. Some demonstrations prove the concept of Anibot is quite useful to do research for A-life and make an animation.
