Metrics of Sensory Motor Coordination and Integration in Robots and Animals : Springer : 9783030141240 : 3030141241 : 02 Apr 2019 : This book focuses on a critical issue in the study of physical agents, whether natural or artificial: the quantitative modelling of sensory?motor coordination. Adopting a novel approach, it defines a common scientific framework for both the intelligent systems designed by engineers and those that have evolved naturally. As such it contributes to the widespread adoption of a rigorous quantitative and refutable approach in the scientific study of ?embodied' intelligence and cognition. More than 70 years after Norbert Wiener's famous book Cybernetics: or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine (1948), robotics, AI and life sciences seem to be converging towards a common model of what we can call the ?science of embodied intelligent/cognitive agents'. This book is interesting for an interdisciplinary community of researchers, technologists and
