Description

This module provides a foundation in biologically inspired computing, artificial intelligence and robotics. It takes inspiration from aspects of biological systems from intelligence, cognition and behaviour down to cellular inspired computing. It covers behaviour-based theory and the basics of learning techniques for robot control as well as biological collective behaviour and self-organisation. The module has a particular emphasis on robotics research and Human Robot Interaction (HRI), which is key to the development of theories and methods that create interactions between AI systems and the world.
