Morphological Computation is a broad concept that tries to connect the body (or mechanics), brain (or controller) and environment. In this work, we analyze Physical Reservoir Computing as a practical approach to Morphological Computation. Physical Reservoir Computing extends the Reservoir Computing framework that was originally developed in the context of artificial neural networks to physical systems. This has approach provides simple, yet efficient methods to exploit the computational power available in physical dynamical systems.
