Practical Issues of “Dynamical Systems, Wave based Computation and Neuro-Inspired Robots” — Introduction

This Chapter introduces the topics covered during the practice hours of the course “Dynamical Systems, Wave based Computation and Neuro-Inspired Robots”. These practice hours were divided into two parts. Firstly, the course participants were asked to learn the basics on CNNs by using a CNN simulator. Then, they were divided in several groups and a project was assigned to each group. In this Chapter the project objectives are introduced, while in the following Chapters the projects are detailed in the contributions given by the course participants.
