Connectionists: Open access book on “Behavioral and Cognitive Robotics: An Adaptive Perspective"

[Stefano Nolfi]

This new book (available from https://bacrobotics.com) which is targeted toward researchers, Phd, and master students with an interest in neural networks and robotics:

* introduces autonomous robots, neuro-evolution, reinforcement learning and learning by demonstration methods;

* uses concrete experiments to illustrate the fundamental aspects of embodied intelligence;

* provides theoretical and practical knowledge, including tutorials and exercises;

* illustrates in an integrated manner the research carried in partially separated research communities.

best regards,

Stefano
