From the reviews: "This book is aimed at researchers interested in mobile robots. The book is comprised of a collection of papers that cover the results of the European research project 'SPARK.' The goal of the project is to develop biologically inspired cognitive architectures and sensing-perceiving-moving artifacts based on self-organization in complex systems. The results are divided into three parts, including principles of insect perception, cognitive models, and software/hardware cognitive architecture and experiments."
