Perception-Action Cycles

Perception-action cycles refer to how animals, including humans, are able to perceive the world around them and then act upon such perceptions to adjust their behaviour accordingly. They involve the cognitive ability of perceiving stimuli, analysing them and then deciding upon an action to take. This process of perceiving and acting upon stimuli is essential for survival, development and navigation of an environment. In the field of robotics, perception-action cycles are used to replicate the sense-think-act capability of living organisms in autonomous robots. The same process is also being studied in neuroscience and psychology, where it is believed to provide crucial insights into understanding human and animal behaviour.
