Definition
This field bridges neuroscience and robotics by implementing neural network models into robotic control systems. It allows researchers to test hypotheses about motor control, sensory processing, and cognition in physical agents. Conversely, insights from robotic behavior help refine our understanding of neural mechanisms. Neurorobotics emphasizes embodied cognition, where intelligence emerges from the interaction between the brain, body, and environment.
Summary
Neurorobotics is the study of how biological neural systems can inform the design of autonomous robots and how robots can serve as models for understanding brain function.
