Description
Summary:Neurorobotic models are perfect candidates for proving the validity of embodied/dynamical approaches to cognition. In order to control bodies of arbitrary complexity in complex environments, it is necessary to coordinate vast numbers of sensory and motor components. In this review, we took at several studies of neurorobotics and generalize common principles of how they achieve this massive feat, relying on the key concepts of entrainment and chaos control. We discuss current limitations and ways that these techniques could be expanded to cover more wide ranges of behavior, for example by taking inspiration from ecological psychology.
