Architectures for complex behaviour inspired in the nervous system

Abstract

Generalized robotic systems are probably one of the more complete paradigms of natural behaviour, so that they can properly be consider to show artificial behaviour in the higher sense of the term. A generalized robotic system is here understood as that artificial system capable of sensing the environment, perceive it and interprete it in terms of more or less general models of the environment and of itself; capable also of computing appropriate strategies of action, by planning and by finding plausible action methods. And capable, finally, of firing sequences of motor and effectors actions, having ways of controlling said actions.
