Introduction and Framework 1

Learning systems are characterized by a number of common features. This chapter presents a unified framework for adaptive systems. The framework comprises conceptual and formal constructs based on a modular representation of functional elements. The overall architecture is interpreted in specific contexts relating to robotics and production.
