Because the brain is closely coupled to the body and situated in the environment, neurorobots—autonomous systems modeled after some aspect of the brain—offer a powerful tool for studying neural function and may also be a means for developing autonomous systems with intelligence that rivals that of biological organisms. This textbook introduces approaches and design principles for developing intelligent autonomous systems grounded in biology and neuroscience. It is written for anyone interested in learning about this topic and can be used in cognitive robotics courses for students in psychology, cognitive science, and computer science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeurorobotics covers the background and foundations of the field, with information on early neurorobots, relevant principles of neuroscience, learning rules and mechanisms, and reinforcement learning and prediction; neurorobot design principles grounded in neuroscience and principles of neuroscience research; and examples of neurorobots for navigation, developmental robotics, and social robots, presented with the cognitive science and neuroscience background that inspired them. A supplementary website offers videos, robot simulations, and links to software repositories with neurorobot examples.Preface vii\u003cbr\u003eI Neurorobot Background and Foundations 1\u003cbr\u003e1 Neurorobotics: Origins and Background 3\u003cbr\u003e2 Neuroscience: Background for Creating Neurorobots 17\u003cbr\u003e3 Learning and Memory 49\u003cbr\u003e4 Reinforcement Learning and Prediction 67\u003cbr\u003eII Neurorobot Design Principles 87\u003cbr\u003e5 Neurorobot Design Principles 1: Every Action Has a Reaction 89\u003cbr\u003e6 Neurorobot Design Principles 2: Adaptive Behavior, a Change for the Better 113\u003cbr\u003e7 Neurorobot Design Principles 3: Behavioral Trade-Offs Because Life Is Full of Compromises 135\u003cbr\u003eIII Neurorobot Applications 153\u003cbr\u003e8 Neurorobotic Navigation 155\u003cbr\u003e9 Developmental and Social Robotics 183\u003cbr\u003e10 Neurorobotics: Past, Present, and Future 205\u003cbr\u003eGlossary 215\u003cbr\u003eReferences 221\u003cbr\u003eIndex 231Tiffany J.
