Developmental Organization of Robot Behavior

The Developmental Organization of Robot Behavior

By Roderic A Grupen

"This book explores the question of how robots might "learn" how to behave in novel environments, without having each possible action pre-programmed"--

Full Description

A comprehensive introduction to the mathematical foundations of movement and actuation that apply equally to animals and machines. This textbook offers a computational framework for the sensorimotor stage of development as applied to robotics. Much work in developmental robotics is based on ad hoc examples, without a full computational basis. This book's comprehensive and complete treatment fills the gap, drawing on the principal mechanisms of development in the first year of life to introduce what is essentially an operating system for developing robots. The goal is to apply principles of development to robot systems that not only achieve new levels of performance but also provide evidence for scientific theories of human development.
