Born to Learn: the Inspiration, Progress, and Future of Evolved Plastic Artificial Neural Networks (2017, background): “Soon it became evident that intelligence is not only symbol manipulation, but resides also in subsymbolic problem solving abilities emerging from the interaction of brain, body, and environment (Steels, 1993; Sims, 1994), so more complex simulators of real-life environments were developed.”
From hardware and software to kernels and envelopes: a concept shift for robotics, developmental psychology, and brain sciences (2011, background): “Rodney Brooks added that bodies and environments are impossible to model and that therefore research should not try to build models of external reality but on the contrary concentrate on direct situated interaction: “the world is its own best model” (Brooks, 1999; Steels, 1994).”
Embodied Cognition: A field guide (2003, methodology): “We can illustrate emergence with a simple example from [112].”
Socially intelligent robots: dimensions of human–robot interaction (2007, unknown): “…developmentally plausible milestones that researchers are aiming at, highlighting the close relationships between mind, body and environment, work that has been pioneered by Brooks and others since the 1980s (see collection of articles by Steels (1994), Brooks (1999) and Pfeifer & Scheier (1999)).”
Perpetuating evolutionary emergence (1998, background): “This is close to Steels' concept of emergence, which refers to ongoing processes which produce results invoking vocabulary not previously involved in the description of the system's inner components – " new descriptive categories " (Steels, 1994, section 4.1).”
