Abstract
**foreword by Michael Arbib**
This introduction to the principles, design, and practice of intelligent
behavior-based autonomous robotic systems is the first true survey of this
robotics field. The author presents the tools and techniques central to the
development of this class of systems in a clear and thorough manner. Following
a discussion of the relevant biological and psychological models of behavior,
he covers the use of knowledge and learning in autonomous robots, behavior-
based and hybrid robot architectures, modular perception, robot colonies, and
future trends in robot intelligence.
The text throughout refers to actual implemented robots and includes many
pictures and descriptions of hardware, making it clear that these are not
abstract simulations, but real machines capable of perception, cognition, and
action.
