Many creatures with small brains and simple nervous systems - such as insects - are astonishingly good at coping with the world around them. A fly, for example, can deftly evade a swat, manoeuvre perfectly well in a cluttered world, and execute a flawless landing on the rim of a teacup. Do such creatures use clever short-cuts to vision and navigation, and if so, can these tricks be exploited to create new kinds of robots?

These questions are explored in this book, which contains articles by experimental biologists as well as computer scientists, in this newly emerging multidisciplinary field. This is a fresh approach to an area of research that has traditionally been dominated by engineering methods, and the book is written in a style in which technical jargon is kept to a minimum.

Cr�ticas

They have recruited a promising mix of authors, whose fields include animal behaviour, machine vision and artificial life. Most of the chapters are informative and thought-provoking, some are fascinating. ... a useful and original collection! (Trends in Cognitive Sciences, vol.1, no.5, August 1997)

the scope of the book is sensibly limited ... And it succeeds, providing an accessible introduction to the field, and a salutary reminder of what can be achieved by "simple" visual systems. (David H. Foster, Aston University, BMVA News Volume 8 Number 2)
