This course examines that it takes to build intellgent systems that have physical embodiment. We look at specific problems this presents, historical solutions, and contemporary research into the area of autonomous embodied systems. Specific topics include dynamical modeling of agent/environment interaction; neural modeling of perception and action systems; fundamental issues in vision and robotics; evolutionary modeling techniques; behavior-based approaches; and pre-cognitive and cognitive architectures. All these topics are examined from the point of view of having a physically embodied system in the world; this both presents unique problems and sources of simplification relative to unembodied intelligence.
