Preface
Welcome to the proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Simulation of Adaptive Behavior (SAB 2008). A symbolic creature in the SAB 2008 poster is based on GAKUTENSOKU, Japan's first modern robot created in 1928 by Makoto Nishimura. The robot, Gakutensoku (or "learning from natural law"), "was 7' 8'' tall, painted gold, could open and close its eyes, could smile, could puff out its cheeks, and at the beginning of each performance would touch its mace to its head and then begin to write (from http://www.robmacdougall.org/index.php/2008/04/gakutensoku/)." Gakutensoku was actuated by pneumatics and seems to have been "a sort of early Japanese animatronics." Desi
