ABSTRACT
The aim of the present paper is to propose that the adoption of a framework of biological development is suitable for the construction of artificial systems. We will argue that a developmental approach does provide unique insights on how to build highly complex and adaptable artificial systems. To illustrate our point, we will use as an example the acquisition of goal-directed reaching. In the initial part of the paper we will outline a) how mechanisms of biological development can be adapted to the arti cial world, and b) how this artificial development di ers from traditional engineering approaches to robotics. An experiment performed on an artificial sys- tem initially controlled by motor reflexes is presented, showing the acquisition of visuo-motor maps for ballistic control of reaching without explicit knowledge of the system's kinematic parameters.
