Eye-head, cheap insects and sub-symbolic

3 quick notes:

1. In Nature (around 24.9.92) there was an article about a model
that predicts head-eye movements during driving.

2. There was a recent announcement in comp.robotics concerning
very cheap insect robots such that even independent researchers
can afford to play with (less than 10$ each). If there's
interest I can post. Their perceptual system is very primitive,
but hackers can extend it.

3. I cam across some work of Smolensky where he claims to unify
sub-symbolic and symbolic notions in a common framework. Does
Bill P. have any ideas/opinions concerning this work (which
is done in the neighborhood) ?
