Properties of the human embodiment sensorimotor apparatus and neurological structure participate directly in the growth and development of cognitive processes against enormous worst case complexity. It is our position that relationships between morphology and perception over time lead to incerasingly comprehensive models that describe the agent's relationship to the world.We are applying insight derived from neuroscience, neurology, and developmental psychology to the design of advanced robot architectures. To investigate developmental processes, we have begun to approximate the human sensorimotor configuration and to engage sensory and motor subsystems in developmental sequences. Many such sequences have been documented in studies of infant …

Applications of multiple processors embedded in the systems involved with entertainment, informatics, climate control, communication, transportation, and food preparation are already commonplace. A network of these embedded processors presents application development challenges since the state space grows exponentially as new devices attach to the network. The programming model for such systems will need to change if reliable systems are to be realized. By observing information about sensorimotor activity, such systems can gather information useful to programming the network. Through such interaction, a network can build hierarchies of shareable computational structures for representing various activities. This application domain presents additional challenges …
