Valentino Braitenberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Valentino Braitenberg (born 1926) is a cyberneticist and former director at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, Germany.
He is most famous for the book 'Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology' in which he describes how hypothetical 'vehicles' (commonly known as Braitenberg Vehicles), a combination of sensors, actuators and their interconnections, whilst being simple in design could produce behaviours that could be likened to aggression, love, foresight and even optimism.
