This volume reports on the current state of the art in cognitive robotics, offering the first comprehensive coverage of building robots inspired by natural cognitive systems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eContributors first provide a systematic definition of cognitive robotics and a history of developments in the field. They describe in detail five main approaches: developmental, neuro, evolutionary, swarm, and soft robotics. They go on to consider methodologies and concepts, treating topics that include commonly used cognitive robotics platforms and robot simulators, biomimetic skin as an example of a hardware-based approach, machine-learning methods, and cognitive architecture. Finally, they cover the behavioral and cognitive capabilities of a variety of models, experiments, and applications, looking at issues that range from intrinsic motivation and perception to robot consciousness.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCognitive Robotics\u003c\/i\u003e is aimed at an interdisciplinary audience, balancing technical details and examples for the computational reader with theoretical and experimental findings for the empirical scientist.Preface ix\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments xi\u003cbr\u003eI Definition and Approaches \u003cbr\u003e1 What is Cognitive Robotics? 3\u003cbr\u003e2 Neurorobotics: Neuroscience and Robots 19\u003cbr\u003e3 Developmental Robotics 41\u003cbr\u003e4 Evolutionary Robotics 59\u003cbr\u003e5 Swarm Robotics 77\u003cbr\u003e6 Soft Robotics: A Developmental Approach 99\u003cbr\u003eII Methods and Concepts\u003cbr\u003e7 Robot Platforms and Simulators 123\u003cbr\u003e8 Biomimetic Skin 145\u003cbr\u003e9 Machine Learning for Cognitive Robotics 165\u003cbr\u003e10 Cognitive Architectures 191\u003cbr\u003e11 Embodiment in Cognitive Science and Robotics 213\u003cbr\u003e12 Ethics of Robotics 231\u003cbr\u003eIII Behavioral and Cognitive Capabilities\u003cbr\u003e13 Intrinsic Motivations for Open-Ended Learning 251\u003cbr\u003e14 Principles of Cognitive Vision 271\u003cbr\u003e15 Cognitive Robot Navigation 295\u003cbr\u003e16 Cognitive Robot Manipulation 315\u003cbr\u003e17 Cognitive Control for Decision and Human-Robot Collaboration 337\u003cbr\u003e18 Social Cognition 361\u003cbr\u003e19 Human-Robot Interaction 379\u003cbr\u003e20 Language and Communication 395\u003cbr\u003e21 Knowledge Representation and Reasoning 413\u003cbr\u003e22 Abstract Concepts 433\u003cbr\u003e23 Robots and Machine Consciousness 453\u003cbr\u003eContributors 475\u003cbr\u003eIndex 477“A comprehensive, contemporary overview of the field of cognitive robotics\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e an approach to understanding intelligence ripe for explosive growth.
