In a few words: defining the possible roles that SB ¨C an emerging research line combining biology and engineering ¨C can play in the process of establishment of the so-called ¡®Embodied paradigm¡¯ in the scientific exploration of cognition and, in particular, in artificial intelligence %K Artificial intelligence %K autonomy %K constructivism %K (radical) embodiment %K minimal cell %K minimal cognition %K self-organization %K synthetic method %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1059712318756167
