Android epistemology is the exploration of the space of possible machines and their capacities for knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, desires, and for action in accord with their mental states.

The essays in this interdisciplinary book cover a range of implementations and designs, from formal computational models to large-scale NL processing systems.

Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Representation: Language for Knowledge and Knowledge for Language

The mobile robot systems described in this book were selected from among the best available implementations by leading universities and research laboratories. These are robots that have left the lab and been tested in natural and unknown environments. They perform many different tasks, from giving tours to collecting trash. Many have distinguished themselves (usually with first- or second-place finishes) at various indoor and outdoor mobile robot competitions. Each case study is self-contained and includes detailed descriptions of important algorithms, including pseudo-code. Thus this volume serves as a recipe book for the design of successful mobile robot applications. Common themes include navigation and mapping, computer vision, and architecture.

Artificial Intelligence and Mobile Robots: Case Studies of Successful Robot Systems

Using biorobotics to explore animal behavior and brain function.
Animal-like robots are playing an increasingly important role as a link between the worlds of biology and engineering. The new, multidisciplinary field of biorobotics provides tools for biologists studying animal behavior and testbeds for the study and evaluation of biological algorithms for potential engineering applications. This book focuses on the role of robots as tools for biologists.
An animal is profoundly affected by the many subtle and complex signals within its environment, and because the animal invariably disturbs its environment, it constantly creates a new set of stimuli. Biorobots are now enabling biologists to understand these complex animal-environment relationships. This book unites scientists from diverse disciplines who are using biorobots to probe animal behavior and brain function. The first section describes the sensory systems of biorobotic crickets, lobsters, and ants and the visual system of flies. The second section discusses robots with cockroach motor systems and the intriguing question of how the evolution of complex motor abilities could lead to the development of cognitive functions. The final section discusses higher brain function and neural modeling in mammalian and humanoid robots.

The International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) is the premier international gathering of leading AI researchers and practitioners from all over the world. Held biennially in odd-numbered years since 1969, IJCAI highlights the latest theoretical and applied results in all subfields of artificial intelligence. The theme of IJCAI-13 was AI and computational sustainability. For this reason, besides the main track, the conference had a special track on this topic, with both technical papers and data challenge papers. All the papers accepted in this track (23 technical papers and 3 data challenge papers) are included in the 413 accepted papers and appear in these proceedings.
