Metrics of Sensory Motor Coordination and Integration in Robots and Animals

How to Measure the Success of Bioinspired Solutions with Respect to their Natural Models, and Against More 'Artificial' Solutions?

This book focuses on a critical issue in the study of physical agents, whether natural or artificial: the quantitative modelling of sensory-motor coordination. Adopting a novel approach, it defines a common scientific framework for both the intelligent systems designed by engineers and those that have evolved naturally. As such it contributes to the widespread adoption of a rigorous quantitative and refutable approach in the scientific study of 'embodied' intelligence and cognition. More than 70... (Læs mere)
