Robotics can play a useful role in the scientific understanding of the sense of self, both
through the construction of embodied models of the self and through the use of robots as …

Living systems ensure their fitness by self-regulating. The optimal matching of their behavior
to the opportunities and demands of the ever-changing natural environment is crucial for …

We present a biomimetic model of motivated behaviour based on the network architecture of
the mammalian hypothalamus and its interaction with brain systems involved in reward …

A better understanding of the nature of human relationships can aid the design of effective
and appropriate social behaviour for robots. The investigation of human bonding via robotic …

The development of cognitive architectures for biomimetic robots can benefit from the
seamless integration of computational models that capture some of the brain's capacity to co …
