In our final post in celebration of National Robotics Week, Matthew Schlesinger and Angelo Cangelosi discuss science’s progress toward creating machines that appear to “think,” express themselves, and have authentic experiences like our own. Schlesinger and Cangelosi are authors of Developmental Robotics: From Babies to Robots, a comprehensive overview of robotics that takes direct inspiration from the developmental and learning phenomena observed in children’s cognitive development.
