                                                Bionics evolved in the 1960s as a framework to pursue the
development of    artificial systems based on the study of
biological systems. Numerous       disciplines and technologies,
including artificial intelligence and learningdevices,
information processing, systems architecture and                   control,
perception, sensory mechanisms, and bioenergetics,
contributed to bionics research.
This volume is based on a NATO Advanced Research       Workshop
within the Special Programme on Sensory Systems for                Robotic
Control, held in Il Ciocco, Italy, in June 1989. A                  consensus
emerged at the workshop, and is reflected in the book, on
the value of learning from nature in order to derive
guidelines for the design  of intelligent machines which
operate in unstructured environments.
The papers in the book are grouped into seven chapters:
vision and dynamic      systems, hands and tactile perception,
locomotion, intelligent motor        control, design technologies,
interfacing robots to nervous systems, and    robot societies
and self-organization.
