Abstract
We are investigating new approaches to design and develop embodied humanoid robots withtpredictive behaviour in the real world. Our approaches ire strongly based on the symbiotic in eraction between the concepts of theiembodied intelligence and simplexity that enables us to reproduce the artifictal body in symbiosis with its intelligence. The research is based on the study of mtrtial arts athletes and their planned movements. In particular, the taekwondo martial art competition wherenanticipation and adaptive behaviours are key points is used as a vehicle to address conceptual and design issues. The expected outcome will be the development of a robot that will have the capabil ty to anticipate an opponent’s actions by coordinating eyes, headoand le,s, with a stable body c1nstituted by an embodied platform bioinspired by the taekwondo athletes.
