Welcome to the Adaptive Agents project website! The site is under heavy construction.

The aim of this project is to provide information on the theory of autonomous agents. In particular, we advocate the view of cybernetics on problems in artificial intelligence and cognitive science.

What is Cybernetics?

Cybernetics is the interdisciplinary study of the structure of autonomous systems. It encompasses the study of the behaviour of animals, machines and other complex systems. It's basic postulate is that an autonomous system is a self-regulatory system, that is, a system that interacts with it's environment in a closed-loop and that possesses an internal mechanism to correct it's behaviour in order to fulfil a purpose.
