AB - This chapter addresses some of the possible missing pieces to understand the gulf between robots and biological beings in negotiating movements in a natural world. More specifically, we discuss the overarching question of understanding how passive dynamics and computing can come together to solve complex interaction problems. The elegance of physical interactions we have in daily life appears to come from a fine interplay among the dynamics and computing in the brain, the body, and the environment. However, it is difficult to map this out using human participants alone. Can we use robots as a proxy to living beings to understand the nuances of such interactions since we can control and measure details of information flow? We will group examples under three phenomena we believe are important to untangle the puzzle: Ghost circuits, kinematic tuning, and behavioral lensing on which we will elaborate further in this chapter.
