Embodied Artificial Intelligence

This book is devoted to the rapidly growing highly interdisciplinary field of embodied artificial intelligence involving researchers from areas as diverse as computer science, engineering, cognitive science, neuroscience, biology, biomechanics, material science, and linguistics. Originating from a Dagstuhl seminar, the revised reviewed papers presented in this book constitute a representative state-of-the-art in the field of embodied artificial intelligence. The 23 papers presented together with an introductory overview are organized in topical sections on- philosophical and conceptual issues- information, dynamics, and morphology- principles of embodiment for real world applications-developmental approaches- artificial evolution and self-reconfiguration
