Developing Affect-Modulated Behaviors : Stability, Exploration, Exploitation or Imitation
Blanchard, A.; Cañamero, Lola (Lund University, 2006)Exploring the environment is essential for autonomous agents to learn new things and to consolidate past experiences and apply them to improve behavior. However, exploration is also risky as it exposes the agent to unknown, ... -
From Imprinting to Adaptation : Building a History of Affective Interaction
Blanchard, A.; Cañamero, Lola (Lund University, 2005)We present a Perception-Action architecture and experiments to simulate imprinting the establishment of strong attachment links with a “caregiver”—in a robot. Following recent theories, we do not consider imprinting as ... -
Modulation of exploratory behavior for adaptation to the context
Blanchard, A.; Cañamero, Lola (2006)For autonomous agents (children, animals or robots), exploratory learning is essential as it allows them to take advantage of their past experiences in order to improve their reactions in any situation similar to a situation ... -
The Role of Affect in Imitation: An Epigenetic Robotics Approach
Blanchard, A. (2007-11-13)In animals, humans and robots, imitative behaviours are very useful for acting, learning and communicating. Implementing imitation in autonomous robots is still a challenge and one of the main problems is to make them ... -
Using the interaction rhythm as a natural reinforcement signal for social robots: a matter of belief
Hiolle, A.; Cañamero, Lola; Andry, P.; Blanchard, A.; Gaussier, P. (2010)In this paper, we present the results of a pilot study of a human robot interaction experiment where the rhythm of the interaction is used as a reinforcement signal to learn sensorimotor associations. The algorithm uses ... -
Using Visual Velocity Detection to Achieve Synchronization in Imitation
Blanchard, A.; Cañamero, Lola (The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2005)Synchronization and coordination are important mechanisms involved in imitation and social interaction. In this paper, we study different methods to improve the reactivity of agents to changes in their environment in ...
