"On [Mitsuo] Kawato's lapel is a button that reads 'I Love Robots!' But there is a difference between him and other attendees. Kawato loves robots not because they are cool, but because he believes they can teach him how the human brain works. 'Only when we try to reproduce brain functions in artificial machines can we understand the information processing of the brain,' he says." (TECHNOLOGY REVIEW) This article examines how the study of robotics is helping a scientist explain "how the human brain works."
