Epigenetic adaptation in action selection environments with temporal dynamics
Lones, John; Cañamero, Lola; Lewis, Matthew (MIT Press, 2013-09-02)To operate in dynamic environments robots must be able to adapt their behaviour to meet the challenges that these pose while being constrained by their physical and computational limitation. In this paper we continue our ... -
Epigenetic adaptation through hormone modulation in autonomous robots
Lones, John; Canamero, Lola (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-12-31)Epigenetic adaptation provides biological organisms with the ability to adjust their physiology and/or morphology in order to meet some of the challenges posed by their environment. Recent research has suggested that this ... -
From Sensorimotor Experiences to Cognitive Development: : How Does Experiential Diversity Influence the Development of an Epigenetic Robot?
Lones, John; Lewis, Matthew; Canamero, Lola (2016-08-26)Using an epigenetic model, in this paper we investigate the importance of sensorimotor experiences and environmental conditions in the emergence of more advanced cognitive abilities in an autonomous robot. We let the robot ... -
Hormonal Modulation of Developmental Plasticity in an Epigenetic Robot
Lones, John (2017-04-07)In autonomous robotics, there is still a trend to develop and tune controllers with highly explicit goals and environments in mind. However, this tuning means that these robotic models often lack the developmental and ... -
A Hormone-Driven Epigenetic Mechanism for Adaptation in Autonomous Robots
Lones, John; Lewis, Matthew; Cañamero, Lola (2018-06-01)Different epigenetic mechanisms provide biological organisms with the ability to adjust their physiology and/or morphology and adapt to a wide range of challenges posed by their environments. In particular, one type of ...
