This book presents interdisciplinary research that pursues the
mutual enrichment of neuroscience and robotics. Building on
experimental work, and on the wealth of literature regarding the
two cortical pathways of visual processing - the dorsal and ventral
streams - we define and implement, computationally and on a real
robot, a functional model of the brain areas involved in
vision-based grasping actions. Grasping in robotics is largely an
unsolved problem, and we show how the bio-inspired approach is
successful in dealing with some fundamental issues of the task. Our
robotic system can safely perform grasping actions on different
unmodeled objects, denoting especially reliable visual and
visuomotor skills. The computational model and the robotic
experiments help in validating theories on the mechanisms employed
by the brain areas more directly involved in grasping actions. This
book offers new insights and research hypotheses regarding such
mechanisms, especially for what concerns the interaction between
the dorsal and ventral streams. Moreover, it helps in establishing
a common research framework for neuroscientists and roboticists
regarding research on brain functions.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 13th International
Conference on Simulation of Adaptive Behavior, SAB 2014, held in
Castellon, Spain, in July 2014. The 32 papers presented in this
volume were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the
proceedings. They cover the main areas in animat research,
including the animat approach and methodology, perception and motor
control, navigation and internal world models, learning and
adaptation, evolution and collective and social behavior.
