DESCRIPTION:
(Gerhard Sagerer, Professor of Applied Informatics, Center of Excellence on Cognitive Interaction Technology, Bielefeld University)Cangelosi and Schlesinger provide a thorough and thoughtful overview of the emerging field of developmental robotics. Developmental robotics primarily draws people from psychology and artificial intelligence.

"Best book, a must read" according to J. Shepherd. This is the best book, I have learned a lot, not only about how robots think, but how children do things as well
The chapters cover intrinsic motivation and curiosity; motor development, examining both manipulation and locomotion; perceptual development, including face recognition and perception of space; social learning, emphasizing such phenomena as joint attention and cooperation; language, from phonetic babbling to syntactic processing; and abstract knowledge, including models of number learning and reasoning strategies. This volume, drawing on insights from psychology, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, and robotics, offers the first comprehensive overview of a rapidly growing field. It builds on the idea that the robot, using a set of intrinsic developmental principles regulating the real-time interaction of its body, brain, and environment, can autonomously acquire an increasingly complex set of sensorimotor and mental capabilities. Boxed text offers technical and methodological details for both psychology and robotics experiments.. After providing some
