Additional Show Notes for BSP 25

On the last episode of the Brain Science Podcast, I promised to list previous episodes that related to the discussion of embodied artificial intelligence.  For the sake of those of you who rely on the RSS feed to get the show notes, I am going to list those below. They have also been added to the original show notes.

Related Episodes of the Brain Science Podcast::

• #2 On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins (listen to episode 2).  This brief review does not get into Hawkin’s discussion of the problems with traditional artificial intelligence, but I highly recommend On Intelligence for more on the subject


• #15 Interview with Dr. Read Montague (listen to episode 15)
  • Dr. Montague introduces the computational theory of mind, which is a different way of approaching some of the problems I discussed with Dr. Pfeifer.

Another thing I did not get into the original notes was a reference for the pivotal paper by Rodney Brooks. Here is  that reference:

• • Brooks, R.A. (1986). A robust layered control system for a mobile robot. IEEE Journal of Robotics and Automation, 2(1): 14–23.
