In the attempt to build adaptive and intelligent machines, roboticists have looked at
neuroscience for more than half a century as a source of inspiration for perception and …

Researchers in robotics and artificial intelligence have often looked at biology as a source of
inspiration for solving their problems. From the opposite perspective, neuroscientists have …

The lay view of a robot is a mechanical human, and thus robotics has always been inspired
by attempts to emulate biology. In this Chapter, we extend this biological motivation from …

Neurorobots are robots whose control has been modeled after some aspect of the brain.
Since the brain is so closely coupled to the body and situated in the environment …

Can we now build artificial animals? A combination of robot technology and
neuroethological knowledge is enabling the development of realistic physical models of …

Neurobiological and neuroethological findings on insects can be used to design and
construct small robots controlling their navigation on the basis of bio-inspired visual …

Neurorobotics is an emerging science that studies the interaction of brain, body, and
environment in closed perception–action loops where a robot's actions affect its future …

Neuromorphic and brain-based robotics have enormous potential for furthering our
understanding of the brain. By embodying models of the brain on robotic platforms …

In this article we describe a methodology for evolving neurocontrollers of autonomous
mobile robots without human intervention. The presentation, which spans from technological …

IN the last several decades great progress has been made in describing how the separate
systems of the brain function. Less progress has been made in obtaining a global picture of …
