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.Preface xv\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments xxi\u003cbr\u003e1 Introduction 1\u003cbr\u003eI MOTOR UNITS \u003cbr\u003e2 Actuation 17\u003cbr\u003e3 Closed-Loop Control 47\u003cbr\u003ePart I Summary: Muscles, Motors, and Control 76\u003cbr\u003eII STRUCTURE IN KINODYNAMIC SYSTEMS\u003cbr\u003e4 Kinematic Systems\u003cbr\u003e5 Hands and Kinematic Grasp Analysis 119\u003cbr\u003e6 Dynamics of Articulated Systems 147\u003cbr\u003ePart II Summary: The Kinodynamic Affordances of Embodied Systems 165\u003cbr\u003eIII STRUCTURE IN SENSORY FEEDBACK\u003cbr\u003e7 Stimuli and Sensation: Organs of Visual and Tactile Perception 169\u003cbr\u003e8 Signals, Signal Processing, and Information 191\u003cbr\u003ePart III Summary: Transducers, Signals, and Perceptual Structure 218\u003cbr\u003eIV SENSORIMOTOR DEVELOPMENT\u003cbr\u003e9 Infant Neurodevelopmental Organization 221\u003cbr\u003e10 A Computational Framework for Experiments in Developmental Learning 251\u003cbr\u003e11 Case Study: Learning to Walk 281\u003cbr\u003ePart IV Summary: Foundations for Hierarchical Skills 298\u003cbr\u003eAppendix A Tools for Linear Analysis 299\u003cbr\u003eAppendix B The Dynamics of Kinematic Chains 331\u003cbr\u003eAppendix C Numerical Methods for Solving Laplace's Equation 351\u003cbr\u003eBibliography 357\u003cbr\u003eIndex 371Roderic A.
