Historical and philosophical perspectives on intelligent and neural control

Intelligent control covers a wide range of technologies related to hard-sciences such as the control theory and soft-sciences such as the artificial intelligence. In a control solution, by broadening our views on what can count as information spectrum-deep or shallow-we can pursue synergistic integrations. The new concepts emerge and computationally efficient product structures based on hybrid technologies become feasible. We present here some philosophical perspectives and give two new product concepts using the hybrid technologies.
