<h3>Resume:</h3>
</font></font></font><font size="3"><font size="2"><font
size="3">"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. </font></font></font>"<br>
