Guest Editorial Sensorimotor Contingencies for Cognitive Robotics

The sensorimotor approach to cognition states, that the key to bring semantics to the world of a robot, requires making the robot learn the relation between the actions that the robot performs and the change it experiences in its sensed data because of those actions. Those relations are called sensorimotor contingencies (SMCs). This special issue presents a variety of recent developments in SMCs with a particular focus on cognitive robotics applications.
