Robotic Introspection: Self-modeling

Food for thought from the Cornell Creative Machines Lab, with their self-modeling walker [http://creativemachines.cornell.edu/emergent_self_models].

Robots that self-model their own body image to learn how to walk, and autonomously adapt their behavior to variable circumstances (changing terrain, structural damage, etc.).
