An introduction to embodied cognitive science that illustrates foundational ideas through the construction and observation of LEGO Mindstorms robots. This book places a renewed emphasis on a few key systems: sensing and acting, the importance of embodiment, the exploration of distributed notions of control, and the development of theories by synthesizing simple systems and exploring their behaviour.
