The objective of this paper is to analyze the properties of information in general and to define biological information in particular.

UUV Teams, Control From A Biological Perspective

Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are used extensively for salvage operations, ocean floor surveying and numerous inspection activities that support a wide range of underwater commercial activities. In deep water (greater than 1000 ft) an ROV is the platform of choice because of the depth and endurance limitations for human divers. The key disadvantage to an ROV is the requirement for the long te...

Ageing--a biological perspective.

A biological perspective on memory

This issue contains an expansive purview of the biology of memory. Coverage includes a broad range of phyla and species — from bacteria (Escherichia coli) to plants (Arabidopsis) to animals, including invertebrates — Drosophila, stink bugs, wasps, and ants — and vertebrates — mice, rats, monkeys and people; of biological levels of analyses — gene regulation, signal transduction, cellular/synapt...

A Biological Perspective Agent Design

The inability of current "classical" AI systems to handle unconstrained interaction with tbe real world has recently lead to a search for new control architectures for autonomous agents. We argue that simpler natural animals already exhibit most of the properties required by an autonomous agent, and suggest that designers of autonomous agents should draw directly upon the neural basis of behavi...
