A Braitenberg vehicle is an imaginary robot or creature used as the subject of a thought experiment to study embodied cognition. It was introduced by the Italian cyberneticist Valentino Braitenberg in his 1984 book Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology. In the thought experiment, a vehicle equipped with sensors and actuators moves through a…
The analysis highlights Original formulations, Extensions and Overview as prominent areas in the source structure around Braitenberg vehicle.
Source areas are shown by the number of related topics found in each part of the analysis. Use smaller areas too: they can reveal specialized angles and content gaps.
Smaller areas are not necessarily less important. They contain fewer connections in this analysis and can be useful for finding specialized angles or coverage gaps.
