Effects of Anticipation in Individually Motivated Behaviour on Control and Survival in a Multi-Agent Scenario with Resource Constraints
Guckelsberger, Christian; Polani, D. (2014-06-19)Self-organization and survival are inextricably bound to an agent’s ability to control and anticipate its environment. Here we assess both skills when multiple agents compete for a scarce resource. Drawing on insights from ... -
Effects of different kinds of robot feedback
Fischer, Kerstin; Lohan, Katrin S.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Lehmann, Hagen (Springer Nature, 2013-12-01)In this paper, we investigate to what extent tutors' behavior is influenced by different kinds of robot feedback. In particular, we study the effects of online robot feedback in which the robot responds either contingently ... -
Effects of Previous Exposure on Children’s Perception of a Humanoid Robot
Lakatos, Gabriella; Wood, Luke Jai; Zaraki, Abolfazl; Robins, Ben; Dautenhahn, Kerstin; Amirabdollahian, Farshid (Springer Nature, 2019-11-17)The study described in this paper investigated the effects of previous exposure to robots on children’s perception of the Kaspar robot. 166 children aged between 7 and 11 participated in the study in the framework of a UK ... -
The Effects on Visual Information in a Robot in Environments with Oriented Contours
Olsson, L.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Polani, D. (2004) -
Efficient architectures for sparsely-connected high capacity associative memory models
Calcraft, L.; Adams, R.G.; Davey, N. (2007) -
An efficient churn prediction model using gradient boosting machine and metaheuristic optimization
AlShourbaji, Ibrahim; Helian, Na; Sun, Yi (2023-09-02)Customer churn remains a critical challenge in telecommunications, necessitating effective churn prediction (CP) methodologies. This paper introduces the Enhanced Gradient Boosting Model (EGBM), which uses a Support Vector ... -
An efficient inter-site interference model for 4G wireless networks
Amate, Ahmed; Sofianos, Stratis; Milosavljevic, Milos; Kourtessis, Pandelis; Senior, J.M. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-12-01)Due to the large number of wireless cells that are required for accurately evaluating inter-site interference in cellular networks, computational resources often pose a considerable limitation. In this paper, a novel method ... -
Efficient Methods for Calculating Sample Entropy in Time Series Data Analysis
Bhavsar, Ronakben; Davey, Neil; Helian, Na; Sun, Yi; Steffert, Tony; Mayor, David (2018-12-11)Recently, different algorithms have been suggested to improve Sample Entropy (SE) performance. Although new methods for calculating SE have been proposed, so far improving the efficiency (computational time) of SE calculation ... -
Efficient T-CONT-agnostic Bandwidth and Wavelength Allocation for NG-PON2
Kourtessis, Pandelis; Lim, Wansu; Merayo, Noemi; Yang, Yeon-Mo; Senior, John (2019-07-01)Dynamic bandwidth and wavelength allocation are used to demonstrate high quality of service (QoS) in time wavelength-division multiplexed–passive optical networks (TWDM-PONs). Both bandwidth and wavelength assignment are ... -
EHAZOP: A Proof of Concept Ethical Hazard Analysis of an Assistive Robot
Menon, Catherine; Rainer, Austen; Holthaus, Patrick; Lakatos, Gabriella; Carta, Silvio (2024-05-13)The use of assistive robots in domestic environments can raise significant ethical concerns, from the risk of individual ethical harm to wider societal ethical impacts including culture flattening and compromise of human ... -
Eliciting Caregiving Behavior in Dyadic Human-Robot Attachment-Like Interactions
Hiolle, Antoine; Cañamero, Lola; Ross, Marina Davila; Bard, Kim A. (2012-03)We present here the design and applications of an arousal-based model controlling the behavior of a Sony AIBO robot during the exploration of a novel environment: a children’s play mat. When the robot experiences too many ... -

Embedding Robotic Agents in the Social Environment
Ogden, B.; Dautenhahn, K. (2001)This paper discusses the interactive vision approach, which advocates using knowledge from the human sciences on the structure and dynamics of human-human interaction in the development of machine vision systems and ... -
An Embodied AI Approach to Individual Differences : Supporting Self-Efficacy in Diabetic Children with an Autonomous Robot
Lewis, Matthew; Oleari, Elettra; Pozzi, Clara; Cañamero, Lola (Springer Nature, 2015-10)In this paper we discuss how a motivationally autonomous robot, designed using the principles of embodied AI, provides a suitable approach to address individual differences of children interacting with a robot, without ... -
Embodied Language Learning and Cognitive Bootstrapping: Methods and Design Principles
Lyon, Caroline; Nehaniv, Chrystopher; Saunders, Joe; Belpaeme, Tony; Bisio, Ambra; Fischer, Kerstin; Foerster, Frank; Lehmann, Hagen; Metta, Giorgio; Mohan, Vishwanathan; Morse, Anthony; Nolfi, Stefano; Nori, Francesco; Rohlfing, Katharina; Sciutti, Alessandra; Tani, Jun; Tuci, Elio; Wrede, Britta; Zeschel, Arne; Cangelosi, Angelo (2016-05-31)Co-development of action, conceptualization and social interaction mutually scaffold and support each other within a virtuous feedback cycle in the development of human language in children. Within this framework, the ... -
Embodied Robot Models for Interdisciplinary Emotion Research
Canamero, Lola (2019-04-26)Due to their complex nature, emotions cannot be properly understood from the perspective of a single discipline. In this paper, I discuss how the use of robots as models is beneficial for interdisciplinary emotion research. ... -
