August 8-12, 1994, Brighton, England"From Animals to Animats 3" brings together research intended to advance the frontier of an exciting new approach to understanding intelligence. The contributors represent a broad range of interests from artificial intelligence and robotics to ethology and the neurosciences. Unifying these approaches is the notion of "animat" - an artificial animal, either simulated by a computer or embodied in a robot, which must survive and adapt in progressively more challenging environments. The 58 contributions focus particularly on well-defined models, computer simulations, and built robots in order to help characterize and compare various principles and architectures capable of inducing adaptive behavior in real or artificial animals."Topics include": - Individual and collective behavior.- Neural correlates of behavior.- Perception and motor control.- Motivation and emotion.- Action selection and behavioral sequences.- Ontogeny, learning, and evolution.- Internal world models and cognitive processes.- Applied adaptive behavior.- Autonomous robots.- Heirarchical and parallel organizations.- Emergent structures and behaviors.- Problem solving and planning.- Goal-directed behavior.- Neural networks and evolutionary computation.- Characterization of environments."A Bradford Book
