Mission/Objectives
Behavior analysis has contributed to the field of robotics through the 1990s. "Skinner bots" and operant conditioning theory applied to robotics development have helped to advance the field. This group is interested in developing grants to develop a special track at the annual convention for those interested in robotics.
Description of Membership
Open to all ABAI members, researchers, practitioners, and engineers working with robots and interested in robotics work from a selectionist perspective.
Annual or Recurring Events
Meeting at convention and on-line listserv.
Specifically of Interest to Behavior Analysts
This SIG is unique in that it is the only group to our knowledge that deals specifically with this topic that is now close to two decades old.
