This review article aims to address common research questions in hexapod robotics. How
can we build intelligent autonomous hexapod robots that can exploit their biomechanics …

To what degree are non-human animals conscious? We propose that the most meaningful
way to approach this question is from the perspective of functional neurobiology. Here we …

Controlling the six legs of an insect walking in an unpredictable environment is a
challenging task, as many degrees of freedom have to be coordinated. Solutions proposed …

Despite substantial advances in many different fields of neurorobotics in general, and
biomimetic robots in particular, a key challenge is the integration of concepts: to collate and …

Following a first episode of psychiatric symptoms, patients have a high risk of subsequent
episodes of similar or variable nature. These subsequent recurrences characterize …

Taking into account that the human intelligence is the only available intelligence we will find
the functional relationship between neuronal processes and psychic phenomena to …

Locomotion in animals provides a model for adaptive behavior as it is able to deal with
various kinds of perturbations. Work in insects suggests that this evolved flexibility results …

It has often been stated that for a neuronal system to become a cognitive one, it has to be
large enough. In contrast, we argue that a basic property of a cognitive system, namely the …

Across the natural and social world, some fairly advanced and apparently robust systems
destroy themselves without discernible reason, function, or purpose. Whereas such and …
