    • EEG microstates: Functional significance and short-term test-retest reliability 

      Antonova, Elena; Holding, Martin; Suen, Ho Chak; Sumich, Alex; Maex, Reinoud; Nehaniv, Chrystopher (2022-06-02)
      EEG microstates, reflecting discrete topographical organization of the EEG signal power, may have clinical relevance; however, their functional significance and test-retest reliability remain unclear. To investigate the ...

    • 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 ...

    • Example recordings of human-robot interactions in the rejection and prohibition experiments 

      Foerster, Frank; Nehaniv, Chrystopher; Saunders, Joe; Lehmann, Hagen (2019-08-29)
      This video shows some example interactions between participants and the humanoid robot iCub that were recorded within experiments on the acquisition of linguistic negation. The iCub robot acquires its speech solely based ...

    • How do Human Users Teach a Continual Learning Robot in Repeated Interactions? 

      Ayub, Ali; Francesco, Zachary; Holthaus, Patrick; Dautenhahn, Kerstin; Nehaniv, Chrystopher (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023-11-13)
      Continual learning (CL) has emerged as an important avenue of research in recent years, at the intersection of Machine Learning (ML) and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), to allow robots to continually learn in their environments ...

    • Interaction Histories and Short-Term Memory: Enactive Development of Turn-Taking Behaviours in a Childlike Humanoid Robot 

      Broz, Frank; Nehaniv, Chrystopher; Kose-Bagci, Hatice; Dautenhahn, Kerstin (2019-06)
      In this article, an enactive architecture is described that allows a humanoid robot to learn to compose simple actions into turn-taking behaviours while playing interaction games with a human partner. The robot’s action ...

    • The Maximal Subgroups and the Complexity of the Flow Semigroup of Finite (Di)graphs 

      Horváth, Gábor; Nehaniv, Chrystopher; Podoski, Károly (2017-11-30)
      The flow semigroup, introduced by John Rhodes, is an invariant for digraphs and a complete invariant for graphs. We refine and prove Rhodes's conjecture on the structure of the maximal groups in the flow semigroup for ...

    • Measuring Time with Minimal Clocks 

      Polani, Daniel; Nehaniv, Chrystopher; Salge, Christoph; Robu, Andrei (2019-11-01)
      Being able to measure time, whether directly or indirectly, is a significant advantage for an organism. It allows for timely reaction to regular or predicted events, reducing the pressure for fast processing of sensory ...

    • Motor Resonance as Indicator for Quality of Interaction - Does it Scale to Natural Movements? 

      Foerster, Frank; Dautenhahn, Kerstin; Nehaniv, Chrystopher (International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and MultiAgent Systems (IFAAMAS), 2018-07-10)
      Detecting in an automatic manner whether a particular interaction between man and machine “works”, is an unsolved problem in human-machine interaction. No computational technique exists by which the artificial agent could ...

    • Robots Learning to Say `No': Prohibition and Rejective Mechanisms in Acquisition of Linguistic Negation 

      Foerster, Frank; Saunders, Joe; Lehmann, Hagen; Nehaniv, Chrystopher (2019-11-01)
      'No' belongs to the first ten words used by children and embodies the first active form of linguistic negation. Despite its early occurrence the details of its acquisition process remain largely unknown. The circumstance ...

    • Robots that Say ‘No’. Affective Symbol Grounding and the Case of Intent Interpretations 

      Foerster, Frank; Saunders, Joe; Nehaniv, Chrystopher (2018-09-01)
      Modern theories on early child language acquisition tend to focus on referential words, mostly nouns, labeling concrete objects, or physical properties. In this experimental proof-of-concept study, we show how nonreferential ...

    • Towards Scalable Measures of Quality of Interaction: Motor Interference 

      Foerster, Frank; Nehaniv, Chrystopher; Dautenhahn, Kerstin (2019-12-01)
      Motor resonance, the activation of an observer's motor control system by another actor's movements, has been claimed to be an indicator for quality of interaction. Motor interference as one of the consequences of the ...
