Extending the temporal horizon of autonomous robots
(Springer Nature, 2006)
We introduce mathematically rigorous metrics on agent experiences having various temporal horizons. Sensorimotor variables accessible to the agent are--treated as information-theoretic sources modelled as random variables. ...
Exploratory studies on social spaces between humans and a mechanical-looking robot
(2006)
The results from two empirical studies of human–robot interaction are presented. The first study involved the subject approaching the static robot and the robot approaching the standing subject. In these trials a small ...
Using Sensory-Motor Phase-Plots to Characterise Robot-Environment Interactions
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
Information theoretic methods are used to characterise and identify robot-environment interactions, with a view to using these to build an embodied interaction history from the robot's perspective. A bottom-up approach is ...
A Study of a Single Robot Interacting with Groups of Children in a Rotation Game Scenario
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
We tested the hypothesis that children are more attentive to a robot if the robot appears to be interested in the children. In addition, we investigated if and how the quality and quantity of a child's attentive behaviour ...
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 ...
