Developmental Robotics (Cognitive Robotics)

By Angelo Cangelosi and Minoru Asada

Developmental Robotics shows how machines can learn and grow the way living beings do. Instead of being programmed with fixed skills, developmental robots acquire abilities through interaction, curiosity, and experience. Step by step, they learn to see, move, communicate, and adapt to new challenges, opening the door to a new generation of intelligent machines.

This book is the book 3 of the series 'Cognitive Robotics' .

Inside, you will explore how scientists and engineers draw from neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence to design robots that develop like children. You will see how they learn to grasp and manipulate objects, acquire language, cooperate with others, and even build social understanding. The book traces the key breakthroughs that have shaped the field, from early experiments in motor learning to today's research in intrinsic motivation, perception, and embodied cognition.

Accessible and engaging, Developmental Robotics is written for a broad audience of researchers, students, and curious readers. It offers a unique look at how machines can learn and evolve over a lifetime, and what this means for the future of robotics, AI, and our understanding of intelligence itself.

Written for an interdisciplinary audience, Evolutionary Robotics balances accessible explanations with insights from cutting-edge research, making it essential reading for anyone curious about the future of robotics, AI, and artificial life.
