A Perception-Based Approach to Robotics and Artificial Life

Intelligent robots that operate convincingly within the dynamic chaos of the real world are far from being a reality. For artificial systems to behave anything like living systems, and avoid being mired in complexity, we need to fundamentally rethink the standard view of what behaviour is all about. Living systems employ novel and parsimonious methods which resolve and dissolve many of the seemingly intractable problems faced by conventional robotics.
