"An exploration of embodied intelligence and its implications points toward a theory of intelligence in general; with case studies of intelligent systems in ubiquitous computing, business and management, human memory, and robotics.How could the body influence our thinking when it seems obvious that the brain controls the body? In How the Body Shapes the Way We Think, Rolf Pfeifer and Josh Bongard demonstrate that thought is not independe ..."
"The Animals to Animats Conference brings together researchers from ethology, psychology, ecology, artificial intelligence, artificial life, robotics, engineering, and related fields to further understanding of the behaviors and underlying mechanisms that allow natural and synthetic agents (animats) to adapt and survive in uncertain environments. The work presented focuses o ..."
"How could the body influence our thinking when it seems obvious that the brain controls the body? In How the Body Shapes the Way We Think, Rolf Pfeifer and Josh Bongard demonstrate that thought is not independent of the body but is tightly constrained, and at the same time enabled, by it. They argue that the kinds of thoughts we are capable of have their foundation in our e ..."
"By the mid-1980s researchers from artificial intelligence, computer science, brain and cognitive science, and psychology realized that the idea of computers as intelligent machines was inappropriate. The brain does not run "programs"; it does something entirely different. But what? Evolutionary theory says that the brain has evolved not to do mathematical proofs but to cont ..."

"So—once again—we have an instance where the body shapes the brain activity
just as much as the brain activity shapes body ... Similarly, the frequency of the
isolated control signals for the servomotors in the robot Puppy differs from the
resulting ... 5.4 From Gait Patterns to Body Image to Cognition Before we engage
in a discussion on body image let us briefly ... Gait patterns can be easily
visualized by plotting time versus gro ..."
"In this chapter we will briefly review classical AI and cognitive science. ... For
example, if one peruses the literature in cognitive psychology or computational
linguistics, we find that, for the most part, classical thinking still dominates.
Moreover, the classical perspective has much appeal and is compatible with
most people's intuitions about intelligence. ... directed to any of the many
excellent books on this topic, particu ..."

"The papers in this publication cover both the applied as well as the theoretical aspects of intelligent autonomous systems. Autonomy and adaptivity are key aspects of truly intelligent artificial systems, dating from the first IAS conference in 1989. New directions of research have recently emerged from the synergetic interaction of many fields, such as cognitive science, operations research, mathematics, robotics, mechanics, electronic ..."
"Papers from a conference held at the U. of Zurich, Switzerland, October 1989, evaluate the merits, potential, and limits of connectionism (also known as "neural networks"). Researchers from areas such as artificial intelligence, computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, physics, and complex dynamics report on work connected with the analysis and design of intelligent systems and look at the effects and the utility of connection ..."
