Evolutionary Robotics is a method for automatically generating artificial brains and
morphologies of autonomous robots. This approach is useful both for investigating the …

This position paper proposes that the study of embodied cognitive agents, such as
humanoid robots, can advance our understanding of the cognitive development of complex …

In this paper we discuss the complex system and adaptive nature of behaviour. The complex
system nature of behaviour derives from the fact that behaviour and behavioural properties …

This paper presents a cognitive robotics model for the study of the embodied representation
of action words. The present research will present how an iCub humanoid robot can learn …

Embodied intelligence is the computational approach to the design and understanding of
intelligent behavior in embodied and situated agents through the consideration of the strict …

Evolutionary robotics is a biologically inspired approach to robotics that is advantageous to
studying the evolution of communication. A new model for the emergence of communication …

This paper proposes a framework to investigate the influence of physical interactions to
sensory information, during robotic palpation. We embed a capacitive tactile sensor on a …

Sensor evolution in nature aims at improving the acquisition of information from the
environment and is intimately related with selection pressure toward adaptivity and …

In this paper, I discuss in which conditions a population of embodied and situated agents
that have to solve problems that require co-operation might develop forms of ritualized …

Recent work in sensor evolution aims at studying the perception-action loop in a formalized
information-theoretic manner. By treating sensors as extracting information and actuators as …
