The book presents an overview of current research on biologically inspired autonomous robotics from the perspective of some of the most relevant researchers in this area. The book crosses several boundaries in the field of robotics and the closely related field of artificial life. The key aim throughout the book is to obtain autonomy at different levels. From the basic motor behavior in some exotic robot architectures right through to the planning of complex behaviors or the evolution of robot control structures, the book explores different degrees and definitions of autonomous behavior. These behaviors are supported by a wide variety of modeling techniques: structural grammars, neural networks, and fuzzy logic and evolution underlies many of the development processes. Thus this text can be used by scientists and students interested in these areas and provides a general view of the field for a more general audience.

First Sentence:
From a recent review (Meyer 1998) of evolutionary approaches to neural control in mobile robots, it appears that the corresponding research efforts usually call upon a direct coding scheme, where the phenotype of a given robot - i.e., its neural controller and, occasionally, its body plan - is directly coded into its genotype.
