Robotics is a relatively young field that has set itself the rather ambitious some might say impossible goal of trying to create machines that behave and think like humans. This attempt to create intelligent machines naturally leads us to first examine ourselves, to ask, for example, why our bodies are designed the way they are, how our limbs are coordinated, and how we learn and refine complex motions. The sense that the fundamental questions in robotics are ultimately questions about ourselves is part of what makes robotics such a fascinating and engaging endeavor.
