18.1    INTRODUCTION

It is usual for an autonomous mobile robot to be controlled by a computer system, which is either embedded or linked via a wireless or umbilical connection. However, it is now possible for biological neurons to be cultured and trained to act as the brain of such a robot—in doing so, these neurons ...
