Summary This book focuses on a critical issue in the study of physical agents, whether natural or artificial: the quantitative modelling of sensory-motor coordination. Adopting a novel approach, it defines a common scientific framework for both the intelligent systems designed by engineers and those that have evolved naturally. As such it contributes to the widespread adoption of a rigorous quantitative and refutable approach in the scientific study of 'embodied intelligence and cognition More than 70 years after Norbert Wieners famous book Cybernetics: or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine (1948), robotics, AI and life sciences seem to be converging towards a common model of what we can call the 'science of embodied intelligent/cognitive agents. This book is interesting for an interdisciplinary community of researchers, technologists and entrepreneurs working at the frontiers of robotics and AI, neuroscience and general life and brain sciences
