New E-Book "Designing Intelligence" released

Zurich, February 1, 2011:

Rolf Pfeifer, Don Berry and Josh Bongard published the new E-Book "Designing Intelligence" on Grin.com. It presents a new view of intelligence based on the idea of embodiment -- that intelligence requires a body -- and illustrates how having a body shapes the way we think. The book summarizes recent findings generated by latest research on Artificial Intelligence and robotics.

Don Berry and Rolf Pfeifer were first introduced at the know-how trading platform 'Starmind', where Don is a prolific problem-solver.
