Yet, schizophrenia patients’ perception-forming processes have been characterised as aberrant, as producing false inferences and irrational mental states.

Abstract: We typically have a clear idea about the final design and functionality of a robot before we start building it. We apply this top-down design approach to a wide range of robotic systems and it allows our robots to be more optimized, autonomous, and programmable. However, if we want to design and actuate multiple
