Motor babbling , an aspect that a robotic system could effectively develop an internal model of itself body and the external environment autonomously by itself learning within the sensory-motor. It is a recent methodology in respect to complicated robotic system such as humanoid robot

Humanoid robot

In general humanoid robots have a torso with a head, two arms and two legs, although some forms of humanoid robots...

, etc. Motor babbling is one of the methodology towards the complexity of imitating humanistic cognition in robotic system.
