This paper investigates potential effects of a motivational module on a robotic arm, which is controlled based on the biological-inspired SURE REACH system. The motivational module implements two conflicting drives: a goal-location drive and a characteristic-based drive. We investigate the interactions and scaling of these partially competing drives and show how they can be properly integrated into the SURE REACH system. The aim of this paper is two-fold. From a biological perspective, this paper studies how motivation-like mechanisms may be involved in behavioral decision making and control. From an engineering perspective, the paper strives for the generation of integrated, self-motivated, live-like artificial creatures, which can generate self-induced, goal-oriented behaviors while safely and smartly interacting with humans.
