From Bricks to Brains
introduces embodied cognitive science and illustrates its foundational ideas
through the construction and observation of LEGO Mindstorms robots.
Discussing the
characteristics that distinguish embodied cognitive science from classical
cognitive science, the book places a renewed emphasis on sensing and acting,
the importance of embodiment, the exploration of distributed notions of
control, and the development of theories by synthesizing simple systems and
exploring their behavior. Numerous examples are used to illustrate a key theme:
the importance of an agent's environment. Even simple agents, such as LEGO
robots, are capable of exhibiting complex behavior when they can sense and
affect the world around them.
