Bio-Inspired Artificial Intelligence: Theories, Methods, and Technologies (Intelligent Robotics and Autonomous Agents series)
"Competent, lucid, well-written, Bio-Inspired Artificial Intelligence contains precisely the material you want from a comprehensive textbook, with many highly informative examples from biology, engineering, and computing. This book has the potential to become the new standard in the artificial intelligence field." --Rolf Pfeifer, Director, Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, University of Zurich"Bio-Inspired Artificial Intelligence brings together all the things I've been interested in for the last 25 years, and surprises me by providing a coherent intellectual framework for them all. This book is a treasure trove of history from Darwin to Gibson and Walter, an unambiguous tutorial on how to build a plethora of computational models, and a healthy exploration of the philosophies that have driven wide ranging research agendas."--Rodney Brooks, Panasonic Professor of Robotics, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, MIT(Rod Brooks)"Bio-Inspired Artificial Intelligencebrings together all the things I"ve been interested in for the last 25 years, and surprises me by providing a coherent intellectual framework for them all.
