IWANN Special Session SS05.
Emergent Behaviors and Cognition in Embodied Systems

Motivation and Objectives

Emergent behavior-based and cognitive systems are both research paradigms aiming to provide knowledge-based control architectures to embodied, particularly robotics, systems. Many interdisciplinary research areas such as social robotics, artificial cognitive systems or neuro-evolved emergent architectures can benefit to/by the advances on the topics of the proposed session. From the perspective of the IWANN's topics, this session complements the regular program with emergent topics emphasizing multy-disciplinary and transversal aspects.
