Abstract
That cognitive agents have bodies with interfaces for transporting cognitive content from the external world into the agent (recognition) and out of the agent into the external world (action) is hardly controversial. The properties of the interfaces may be established externally by observing the interaction of other agents with their environment and with each other, and internally by observing the functioning of one’s own interfaces through introspection (cf. 1.4.3). In addition, there is the analysis of the external interface organs involved, provided by the natural sciences such as physiology and anatomy, as well as the modeling of these organs in robotics.
