Morphological Computation

The idea of Morphological Computation is how the morphology which is about the form of a robot is important in the overall behaviors and abilities and how the form can help the overall computation efficiency and hence called morphological computation.

The following paper provides a good discussion on the topic and examines a few cases where the sensor positions or type of material used for the robots helps in the development of robust systems which do not necessarily need to model everything internally and the form helps the overall information processing requirements.
