Preface
The term “Embodied Artificial Intelligence” designates a rapidly growing, highly interdisciplinary field, uniting researchers from areas as diverse as engineering, philosophy, psychology, computer science, biology, neuroscience, biomechanics, material science, and linguistics. What motivates these researchers to cooperate is the common interest in intelligence, in particular the development of intelligent machines. Another unifying characteristic of the field is the conviction that intelligence must be embodied, must be conceived of in terms of physical agents – biological or artificial – behaving in a real physical and social world. Given this perspective, most of the work involves the design and construction of robots or other kinds of artifacts. The reason for the very strong transdisciplinary nature of “Embodied Artificial Intelligence” is that intelligence, especially embodied intelligence, is to do with behavior, with real-world interaction, and because we are dealing with physical agents there are many aspects and components involved: materials, morphology, sensors
