[Amdnl] [webinar] "The Robotics and the Living" Concepts and Design of Intelligent Systems, Contribution of Enaction, Cybernetics and Complex Systems

[Alex Pitti]

Dear colleagues,

Live webinar next monday the 9th of december on embodied AI, soft 
robotics, developmental robotics, cognitive sciences and dynamical 
systems approach, mostly in English.

      Resume:

"Intelligent systems require a body to interact with the environment 
depending on the context. This apparently simple proposal has strong 
implications for the understanding of living organisms in their 
complexity, but also for anyone who wants to design robots closer to 
living organisms in the way they operate. "

Around the themes presented in "Simplexity"

Lettres), "la Révolution de l'Intelligence du Corps"

Doursat et al. (2012, Springer) and "Cognitive Morphodynamics" 
<http://doursat.free.fr/cmbook.html> Jean Petitot and René Doursat 
(2011, Peter Lang), this meeting will attempt to bring together ideas 
from biology, biologically-inspired robotics, cognitive sciences, and 
the approach of complex systems with multi-agent systems and 
computational neuroscience.
