[comp.misc] Looking for "recent" article

dana@rucs.runet.edu (Dana Eckart) (12/17/90)

that presented work done at MIT (I think) about little motorized cars
that could be made to exhibit "complex" behaviors by connecting the
various motors which drive the wheels of the vehicle to photosensors.
Behaviors included cars that "liked light" and "feared light".  Sorry,
but I can't describe the article more clearly (that's why I need to
find it again).  

I thought I had seen it in a past issue of Scientific American, but upon
looking through my back issues I couldn't find it.  Any hints/ideas as
to where this article (or similar articles) might be found would be greatly
appreaciated.

Thanks in advance....
