Basic concepts and the origins of the field are described, and then some basic principles of evo-devo-robo that have been developed so far are discussed. </p> </sec> <sec> <title content-type="abstract-heading">Findings</title> <p> – Finally, some misunderstand concepts and the most promising future research developments in this area are discussed. </p> </sec> <sec> <title content-type="abstract-heading">Originality/value</title> <p> – Basic concepts and the origins of the field are described, and then some basic principles of evo-devo-robo that have been developed so far are discussed.
