Valentino von Braitenberg (born 1926 in Bolzano, Italy) is an Austrian neuroscientist and cyberneticist. He is former director at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, Germany.
He is most famous for the book Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology, in which he describes how hypothetical analog vehicles (a combination of sensors, actuators and their interconnections), though simple in design, can exhibit behaviors akin to aggression, love, foresight and optimism[1].
