The Challenge of Designing Nervous and Endocrine Systems in Robots
Keywords:
bionics, integration, robotsAbstract
We discuss in conceptual terms the feasibility of designing a Nervous System and an Endocrine System in a robot and to reflect upon the bionic issues associated with such highly complex automatons. The emulation of biological phenomenon in artificial systems, both nervous and endocrine imitation in a mechatronic automaton is an attractive proposition as a mechanism of organic integration. The ability of living organisms to maintain their internal organization in spite of external changes, encourages attempts to imitate such achievements in devices. The complexity of the network sensors-integrators-effectors and the proportion of internal fluids must be increased when seeking the homeostasis of the robot from mechatronic design to bionic design.References
