How the new paradigms in AI, from swarm intelligence to morphological computation and complex adaptive systems theory applications, (could) help robotics? Is robotics the science of embodied cognition?
Is there a need to extend computation theory to manage the interaction with the physical world?
Does robotics needs a 'paradigm change' from top-down symbolic processing to emerging self-organized cognitive behaviors of complez adaptive dynamical systems?
Which relations are there between new AI, the US NSF idea of CyberPhysical Systems Science, and the concepts of embodied and situated cognition popular in European cognitive sciences community and a significant part of the robotics community?
What does it mean in this context to be 'biomimetic'?
