Pfeifer R, Iida F, Lungarella M
Trends Cogn Sci . 2014 May; 18(8):404-13. PMID: 24839893
Traditionally, in cognitive science the emphasis is on studying cognition from a computational point of view. Studies in biologically inspired robotics and embodied intelligence, however, provide strong evidence that cognition...

Nakajima K, Hauser H, Kang R, Guglielmino E, Caldwell D, Pfeifer R
Front Comput Neurosci . 2013 Jul; 7:91. PMID: 23847526
The behaviors of the animals or embodied agents are characterized by the dynamic coupling between the brain, the body, and the environment. This implies that control, which is conventionally thought...
