Cognitive Robotics

Cognitive Robotics merges two research fields, physical systems and control architectures. The physical systems are designed to adapt to dynamic environments while the control architectures explicitly take into account the need to acquire and exploit past experiences. It paves the way for machines to have reasoning abilities which is analogous to human. The research field of cognitive robotics is interdisciplinary, and uses knowledge and methods from many areas such as psychology, biology, signal processing, physics, information theory, mathematics, and statistics. The development of cognitive robotics will keep cross-fertilizing these research areas. This journal aim to collect the state-of-the-art contributions on the Computational Neuroscience, Computational Cognition and Perception, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Human Action Analysis, and related applications in robotics.
