Cognitive science arose in the 1950s when it became apparent that a number of disciplines, including psychology, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy, were fragmenting …
In this paper we implement a computational model of a neuromodulatory system in an autonomous robot. The output of the neuromodulatory system acts as a value signal …

Embodiment has become the raison d'etre for much of the new 'cognitive robotics'. It fills a gap in the non-interactivist approach of traditional artificial intelligence (AI) in which …
Discussing the characteristics that distinguish embodied cognitive science from classical cognitive science, the authors place a renewed emphasis on sensing and acting, on the …
