Using temporal information distance to locate sensorimotor experience in a metric space
(2005)
Information distance is used to measure how similar sensorimotor experience is to past experience--within a certain temporal horizon. Applied to groups--of sensors this gives a mathematical metric on sensorimotor experience ...
Assessing the performance of different behavior selection architectures in a large and complex virtual environment
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
We compare the performance of autonomous agents with three different behavior selection architectures (Static-Threshold, Winner-Takes-All and Voting- Based) in terms of survival in a large and complex dynamic virtual ...
Classifying types of gesture and inferring intent
(The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2005)
In order to infer intent from gesture, a rudimentary classification of types of gestures into five main classes is introduced. The classification is intended as a basis for incorporating the understanding of gesture into ...
Sustaining interaction dynamics and engagement in dyadic child-robot interaction kinesics: Lessons learnt from an exploratory study
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
Motivated by questions of interaction design for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), an exploratory initial study was carried out with children and a robotic pet in order to improve understanding the design space for interaction ...
Navigation in the presence of humans
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
Robot navigation in the presence of humans raises new issues for motion planning and control since the humans safety and comfort must be taken explicitly into account. We claim that a human-aware motion planner must not ...
Faster Learning in Embodied Systems through Characteristic Attitudes
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
Entropy Indicators for Investigating Early Language Processes
(The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2005)
We examine evidence for the hypothesis that language could have passed through a stage when words were combined in structured linear segments and these linear segments could later have become the building blocks for a full ...
The degree of potential damage in agonistic contests and its effects on social aggression, territoriality and display evolution
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
The potential for animals to inflict damage on one another whilst competing for indivisible resources is a factor of crucial importance when determining pay-offs to such animals and consequent likelihood of adopting an ...
Towards an Interactive System Facilitating Therapeutic Narrative Elicitation in Autism.
(2004)
By telling stories to ourselves and others we make sense of the world; not only of events and why they happened, but also of the actions and motivations of ourselves and others. However, people with autism appear to live ...
