Aus den Rezensionen: "... Dieses Buch ist eine Sammlung an wissenschaftlichen Beitragen, die Methoden diskutieren, wie dem Roboter Aufgaben beigebracht wer den konnen und wie solche Roboter optimalerweise gestaltet werden sollten. 5 Beitrage erlautern biologisch inspirierte Programmer Modelle, 7 Aufsatze diskutieren Roboter Lcrnstrategien und 8 befassen sich mit der Imitationsmethode, bei der man dem Roboter vormacht, was man von ihm erwartet. Ein aktuelles Buch fur Roboter Entwickler." (in: Bulletin SEV/VSE electrosuisse (Sonderausgabe), 22/October/2010)
